I don't consider absolute "openness" the principal goal. It may have been in 1992, when all participants were friendly academics and techies, unfortunately this is 2012 where every asshole with a grudge can use various websites to find out each and every business relationship a LIR has on a public, uncontrolled database. LIRs are pretty unique in having to, perforce, make publically available nearly all info about their business. There are other privacy issues with the database, however, these are off-topic in this context. rgds, Sascha Luck
