Proposal
Proposal type: modify (NRPM sections 4.2.3.7.6 and 6.5.5.1)
Policy Term: permanent
An organization with downstream residential customers may
substitute that organization's name for the customer's name,
e.g. 'Private customer - XYZ Network', and the customer's entire
address may be replaced with 'Private Residence'. Each private
downstream residential reassignment must have accurate upstream
Abuse and Technical POCs visible on the WHOIS record for that
block.
NRPM Section 3.2 on Distributed Information Server Use
Requirements (from policy proposal 2003-5) is also updated by
striking the words "that includes displaying only the city, state,
zip code, and country".
This policy allows for a residential customer's entire physical
address to be suppressed, not just the street name and number. It
also removes the US-centric phrases "state" and "zip code"
from
the NRPM, reflecting ARIN's broader service area.
In many cases, a postal code or even a city name can identify few
enough individuals, particularly considering the set of those
likely to have their own IP assignments, that the intent of policy
proposal 2003-3 is constructively defeated.
Timetable for implementation: Immediately upon approval.
