[address-policy-wg] RIPE DB: disclosure of commertial information

Hi!

I have very strange situation.

One company I support, an ISP, wants to become a LIR. But they do not want to 
put information about their clients' assignments into the RIPE DB, because of 
there is a possibility to steal clients (most of them - major clients) using 
RIPE DB, and they says that there already was some incidents.

Really, you can see RIPE DB for assignments of LIR to have its client list 
with name of organisation, size (larger client have larger assignment), 
address, phone, fax, email, and even administrative and technical contact 
persons. Only you need to do - is to send (or even talk with) better offer 
addressing it to certain people...

What do you think about it?
