Greetings,

I'm also curious about if he meant "whois should die, let's get everything 
onto rdap quickly", or if he means: "whois and all other registration 
information protocols should die, so that nobody sees anything anymore".

:-)))


Regards,
Carlos

>> All the comments exchanged in the list made me thinking a lot about the wording of this proposal. I have noticed that the lively discussion around the policy is bringing a lot of attention on the dichotomy between the individual (which I agree completely, should be protected in their fundamental rights, with provisions such as the GDPR and others), and the company/corporation. It seems to me so far that many of us would indeed support the idea of having the legal address published of companies, but having concerns about personal data. The aim of this proposal is indeed to focus on companies, not individuals, and even the smallest company has to be registered as such (if not for other reasons, for tax reasons). Individuals will be anyways protected by a hierarchically higher set of rules: the fundamental rights, such as those championed by GDPR for example.

After all, the reasoning here is that if a resource holder is registered with a national company registry, they have a legal address which can be published. This legal address is usually publicly available anyhow and can be then validated by the RIPE NCC.

It would then  still be useful to actually have the legal address of this new company, as it helps to identify the company who is the registered resource holder.
