[ncc-services-wg] 2018-05 New Policy Proposal (Publication of Legal Address of Internet Number Resource Holder)

All -

this is *NOT* a statement for either support or objection, but - for the
time being - merely a request for clarification.

It therefore primarily addresses Sara Veronica Marcolla as the proposer
of this.

Who *EXACTLY* is a "holder of Internet number resources"? I personally
have a clear position here - but having read the text at least twice,
there still is ambiguity as much as I am concerned: is this the
respective LIR, if there is any involved? Is it the actual user of the
Internet number resource in question?

And even more important: whose task shall it be to validate the legal
postal address information before it is being published in the RIPE
database: the RIPE NCC itself as the main WG to discuss this is NCC
services? The respective LIR, if there is any involved? The proposal
appears to be absolutely silent about this quite fundamental question.

Kind regards,
