@EXT: RE: Get a warrant or direct request ?

Hi again, I am a bit puzzled by this statement. If you only have the information concerning the tech support of said company, you would invest time and effort in sending the request to that country - where they would turn down the request as the company is not legally incorporated in such country, but in another one, at which point you would have to do all the process again, losing time and wasting resources. Just because you could not immediately pinpoint a geographical jurisdiction. This is why this proposal is useful, and not only for LEAs. I imagine CSIRTs could have the same view.

IIUC it doesn't work that way. Overseas law enforcement is supposed to contact the appropriate national law enforcement body and have them make the request on their behalf. Anyone else who approaches a registry should be told to go through the official (MLAT?) channels. ******************* DISCLAIMER : This message is sent in confidence and is only intended for the named recipient.

legal adress

@Niall : i understand your point and clearly this is not an easy topic when it comes to define what is personal data. But here is my question : If, to you, the legal adress is a personal data, are you also thinking the same way about the telephone number which is so far kept for registrar abuse contact phone ? Speaking about sole trader, if i understand well your point and go beyond, the name by itself might also be considerated as a personal data as it is also a way to identify the person. To me, legal adress is just a way to be assured that the official request are sent to the correct place Pour une administration exemplaire, préservons l'environnement.

2018-05 New Policy Proposal (Publication of Legal Address of Internet Number Resource Holder)
by Marco Schmidt 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Dear colleagues, A new RIPE Policy proposal, 2018-05, "Publication of Legal Address of Internet Number Resource Holder", is now available for discussion. The goal of the proposal is for the RIPE NCC to publish the validated legal address information of holders of Internet number resources. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2018-05 As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the proposer. At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of the RIPE Working Group Chairs, decides how to proceed with the proposal. We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <ncc-services-wg(a)ripe.net> before 26 October 2018. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Hi Jim, The current postal address information in the RIPE Database is in most cases the location where network engineers are based. This proposal fixes an issue where, for multiple reasons such as tax, costs or regulations, a company might be legally registered at one location while its engineers are in another (or even in a different country). Having a registration number in the RIPE DB would allow to create the link to the location of the jurisdiction of the resource holder. I can think it could simplify the job of everyone: in case of a company with multiple locations, legal notices and the like won't clog the mail of a network engineer located in country A but would find their way to the legal representative of the company (located in country B and for which the rules and regulations of such country are valid).

Hi Erik, I feel we are going in circles here: if a natural person is also a company, any juridical system will guarantee the prominence of the protection of individual rights over any other right. Natural persons should be protected, legal persons not - this is what triggered the proposal for amendment towards the publication of the company registry number (which all kind of enterprises have, and that is not a name, or any kind of PII, but is rather likely to be an identifiable reference of a public registry). Sara -----Original Message----- From: Erik Bais [mailto:ebais@a2b-internet.com] Sent: 10 October 2018 18:01 To: Marcolla, Sara Veronica Cc: 'ncc-services-wg(a)ripe.net' Subject: Re: [ncc-services-wg] @EXT: RE: 2018-05 New Policy Proposal (Publication of Legal Address of Internet Number Resource Holder) Hi Sara, Both PI holders AND Legacy space holders CAN be natural persons.. There is nothing that mandates a legacy holder or a PI holder SHOULD or MUST be incorporated. And guess what, there are a fair bunch of them that aren't . . . As a LIR we have registered many PI objects to natural persons directly or to a person that does business on his own behalf (In Dutch Eenmanszaak ). Where the Dutch Chamber of Commerce provides somewhat better protection by actually publishing only the name of the 'business' the RIPE NCC is already stating that in the PI Object as <natural person full name> acting on behalf of ... <company name> Also, that the policy recommends that customer details are to be published in the RIPE DB, is something that way too far from the original goal of the RIPE whois. So I agree we should be very clear on this and I have say that I don't agree with the policy or its intend. The possible scope creep of this policy or the intent of the author or the privacy impact of the intended policy is something that we, as the community, should NOT want or should support.

As an ISP (and LIR), with international customers or users of our IP Space, it is possible to get an international request for legal assistance of information. Those will be handled by the (in my case) Dutch Justice department and the responsible party (us) in that case will be officially informed.

sara proposal and question to Randy
by ROBINOT Stephane DCPJ SDLC 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Dear All, regarding message 1 : If we all agree that personnal ie individual data has to be removed from direct access and that the legal address has to be published, I would say that on an investigative view, it doesn't always matter who we are asking for some data. For sure it helps knowing who is working within any company especially when you are questionning yourself wether the company is a fraud or not but this is not the majority. I would say that what is important to get an idea of how big the company is. Are we going to request the CEO ? The legal adviser (if he exists) ? Maybe wihtin the unit or office in charge of dealing with requests could be published too. To randy, I would like to say that I don't understand what he pmeans by "whois is useless and should die". As I am new in this group, I might have missed something. Could you explain what you mean ? regards cv Pour une administration exemplaire, préservons l'environnement.

@EXT: 2018-05 New Policy Proposal (Publication of Legal Address of Internet Number Resource Holder) - updating the proposal?
by Marcolla, Sara Veronica 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Hi everyone, All the comments exchanged in the list made me thinking a lot about the wording of this proposal. I have noticed that the lively discussion around the policy is bringing a lot of attention on the dichotomy between the individual (which I agree completely, should be protected in their fundamental rights, with provisions such as the GDPR and others), and the company/corporation. It seems to me so far that many of us would indeed support the idea of having the legal address published of companies, but having concerns about personal data. The aim of this proposal is indeed to focus on companies, not individuals, and even the smallest company has to be registered as such (if not for other reasons, for tax reasons). Individuals will be anyways protected by a hierarchically higher set of rules: the fundamental rights, such as those championed by GDPR for example. At this point I am asking whether you support a proposal, the clarifies that only the legal address of companies will be published, and that states clearly that individuals information will be protected? After all, the reasoning here is that if a resource holder is registered with a national company registry, they have a legal address which can be published. This legal address is usually publicly available anyhow and can be then validated by the RIPE NCC. Looking forward to hear the feedback to this idea for an amendment to the proposal.

Hi Carlos, I understand the logic behind the protection of LIRs for competition reasons - however I am positively sure that this right cannot be considered anywhere close to the right to privacy and protection of individuals. Regarding your comment on the company change, I believe that the case of change of holdership should firstly have to pass the existing RIPE NCC due diligence checks for transfers/mergers. It would then still be useful to actually have the legal address of this new company, as it helps to identify the company who is the registered resource holder.
