John You keep using the word fraud. This is not an issue of fraud by my understanding but ARIN POLICY. Please correct your misuse of your language. PLEASE

Bill – If the community desires such an approach, it can be readily accomplished – but there is quite a bit to consider (See below.) Also, I would recommend that some thought be given to the actual “problem” being solved here, since there may be other approaches with different tradeoffs that are superior for some classes of problems (e.g., use of a review panel for requests of concern, more details disposition of fraud or number resource review cases, etc.) > There ought to be a way to open that black box without unduly harming the > folks who get investigated.

A few details to consider for those wish to pursue this particular direction of “making it all public” – 1. While you suggest “trade secret” redaction, I am fairly confident that the information withheld from disclosure will be almost always intersect the information at the crux of the dispute about the validity of the request, so a very high level of clarity will need to be provided since ARIN will effectively be “left on the hook” to administer that rather problematic aspect of this new fraud review publication policy. 2. We would need to be exceptionally clear about the possibility of public review when requesting supporting information _and in fairness would only be able to apply it to number resource requests made after adoption of this fraud review disclosure policy_ (as parties provided supporting information in the past under a significantly different understanding than contemplated in this discussion.) 3. To the extent that public disclosure of fraud report review details is indeed desired, I would suggest augmenting NRPM section 12 with the necessary policy and guidelines, as the number resource review policy is of similar function, and would also need be reconciled with any new public disclosure practices for number resource review cases. 4. It also goes without saying, but any change in this regard should be carefully evaluated by the community not only from the viewpoint of the fraud report submitter but also from the viewpoint of those subject to inquisition, as we do rather frequently receive reports of alleged number resource fraud that turn out to be the result of insufficient understanding on the part of the submitter.
