None. I think that having the LIRs be accountable to the community in a
transparent fashion is much a better alternative than shrouding
everything in secrecy. There might be uninformed people or trolls
crying foul based on public information, but with everything out in the
open, the more informed amongst us is in a much better position to
point out that there is no foul (assuming there is none).

As an aside, I was puzzled to hear Andrea (iirc) say at the mic that
the identity of the Russian organisation that held 100 ASNs was
confidential. That information should be right there out in the open in
the RIPE database, should it not? How could it possibly be confidential?
