 Dear Nick,

Beautiful words.  I respect your opinion.

I think it is possible to find so great words about privacy. It is important
to have balance between privacy and openness.

My collegues from Greece told that they have very limited information in whois
by privacy reason. In different countries is different opinion about privacy
and opennes while we have different mentality.

I don't see benefits for community in publishing list of transfer.

The same principal of openness and clarity have served the RIPE community
extremely well since it began, and I see no reason abandon them at the
point.  Openness will help to ensure a fair and reasonable market.
