Re: [dispatch] Draft on TRIP IANA registry & postal addresses

SM,

> The Introduction Section mentions "privacy benefit" with respect to postal addresses.  If I understood corectly, the issue is about PII.  Should both postal and email addresses be considered instead of postal addresses only?

Good question.

However, we are targeting only one change with regards to this draft, the postal addresses. This registry is to my knowledge the only one that current requires postal addresses, and we want to fix that because that keeps showing up as an exception in IANA’s explanation of how they handle privacy, how they deal with GDPR, etc.

There’s another and potentially bigger question of many registries including email addresses; the position that we have taken is that those addresses are necessary for the public benefit that these registries provide, e.g., by allowing us to reach out to the people who made requests and ask them about their usage. Nevertheless, it was not the purpose of this draft to go into the email question, and if any change were to be made there, it should probably apply more broadly than the TRIP registry. And be in another draft :-)

Hope this clarifies,
