Isn't the number plate plenty enough? Yes, to know where you live will require an additional step, and yes, choosing who can access your data and who can't is the very foundation of privacy. In this example cops are ok, passers-by meh... My point is that sole proprietorships may become backdoors to sensitive data. Big companies are not required to register the home address of their legal representative, so why should small ones? Let's just find a mechanism to preserve personal data from becoming public domain.

VIOLENT OPPOSITION to 2018-05 New Policy Proposal (Publication of Legal Address of Internet Number Resource Holder)
by Peter Hessler 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

This will give dangerous details to various violent groups, such as G*mergate, St*rmfr*nt, police officers, "copy""right" "owners", as well as stalkers and people who wish to commit violence against us. If the cops want my home address: get a warrent. Strong strong strong opposition to this.

I am one of the thousands of sole proprietorship, and my billing address is also my home address. There must be a way to register the IP addresses to my company (that has much less privacy rights than me), still preserving my personal rights. Big data can correlate ip addresses and companies just using VAT numbers or chamber of commerce registration numbers. Authorities have no trouble obtaining addresses, and people in bad faith can still provide fake addresses. I'm against this backdoor^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H policy. Regards,

Re: [ncc-services-wg] [anti-abuse-wg] RIPE Policy Proposal 2018-05 Aims to Publish Legal Address Information
by Carlos Friaças 28 Sep '18

Greetings, While this proposal can benefit from some tweaks, i believe it is a step in the right direction, in terms of transparency and the (partial?) cleanup of bogus data in the RIPEdb, thus i support this proposal. I also think that all the impact assessments triggered by this proposal will be very interesting.

I really wish these announcements included the text of the proposal to make it easier to address it without having to copy&paste the meat of the proposal into the response. as for the proposal: - this proposal ignores completely the fact that not all resource holders are companies. - publishing the "legal" address details of natural persons likely conflicts with the GDPR for the EU and quite possibly with national data protection regs in the non-EU service region. - The "legal registered address" of a company will only rarely have anything to do with the location of their network management. In fact it often is no more than a lawyer's or accountant's office. This is even more true where a business has many locations for network administration. I'll address arguments as they pertain to legal persons exclusively below as I think the civil rights of *natural* +persons override any and all arguments you could make here. specific arguments: > To make it more difficult for malicious actors to hijack block +of > IP addresses and therefore play a preventive role in protecting > the community against malicious actors; Please provide reasoning how this would be achieved. I see no logical route to this assertion. > Assisting businesses, consumer groups, healthcare organizations > and other organisations combating fraud (some of which have > mandates to electronically save records) to comply with +relevant > legal and public safety safeguards; Please provide exactly which legal requirements and public safeguards require a central, PUBLIC, database of all resource holder address details. > Competent authorities to serve legal process to the party > responsible for the resources; Competent authorities already have a route to this information via the RIPE NCC or via national companies' reg offices. > To reduce delays in serving legal process, avoiding lost leads > and evidence.

Again, I cannot see the logic behind the assertion that a PUBLIC database of legal registered company addresses, insofar as it doesn't already exist in most jurisdictions, solves any problem related to technical troubleshooting. I'm sure in only the tiniest minority of cases will the lawyer or company secretary this address points to be able to, or even know whom to ask for, help with technical troubleshooting. > The information will become out of date if the RIPE NCC can't > ensure current accuracy. > Counter-argument: Information is the lifeblood of organisations > such as the RIPE NCC. Impure data is like impure blood > �\200\223 +not > good for the system. The quality of data held in IT systems +will > deteriorate unless steps are taken to maintain its accuracy and > consistency. This is not an argument, it is merely a re-statement of the position that data quality is important. Also, while everyone who knows me will know that I am the last person to demand political correctness in debate; I do question the need for the language and rhetoric of "Mein Kampf" in a policy proposal. > Therefore, it is of utmost importance to keep data +qualitatively > accurate.

Again, the "counter-argument" is a boiler-plate politcal +statement and does not address the the effort/cost argument against. For the avoidance of doubt, the above constitutes opposition to this proposal.
