Dear DB-WG, Hoping that this email finds you in good health! Please find my comments below, inline... Le lundi 20 juin 2022, Ronald F.

Many thanks for this alternative, i fully support. ...imho, a solution of a real problem shouldn't be implemented, if it removes the ability and solution that at least network operators (NO) actually have; and which allow them to freely and *privately* communicate each other...(home office addresses might be considered a distinct concern, though...). That kind of solutions would remove available, enventually *good*, solutions (new problems) and may contribute to more fragmentation within NO's community; amongst other possible consequences. https://labs.ripe.net/author/kranjbar/proposed-improvements-to-dummification-of-personal-data-in-the-ripe-database/#:~:text=It%20has%20been,exposed%20with%20no%20limits . https://labs.ripe.net/author/kranjbar/proposed-improvements-to-dummification-of-personal-data-in-the-ripe-database/#:~:text=The%20current%20dummification,the%20data%20protection%20rules . https://labs.ripe.net/author/kranjbar/proposed-improvements-to-dummification-of-personal-data-in-the-ripe-database/#:~:text=Proposed%20algorithm :,the%20objects%20below: https://labs.ripe.net/author/alexband/improving-the-management-of-ripe-database-objects-with-joint-responsibility/#:~:text=In%20the%20future,who%20query%20it . > > The only people who could be against this are people intent on committing > fraud or some other kind of nefarious skulduggery on the Internet WHILE > USING THEIR ASSIGNED NUMBER RESOURCES. > > > Ronald...this is not what drove my support to your proposed alternative :'-( ...and as said, above, imho you absolutely not need to use that kind of language to be heard, brother.
