Dear Nick,<br />
<br />
Beautiful words. I respect your opinion.<br />
<br />
I think it is possible to find so great words about privacy. It is important to have balance between privacy and openness.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I don't see benefits for community in publishing list of transfer.<br />

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