Dear Christopher, Apologies that initial reading made me think that the proposal is to remove WhoiS information.
However, even if we consider it is for the bulk data, with the data provided by Vivek of 400 entities signing the agreement with APNIC to have access to this data so far and one known case of abuse (which was then acted upon), the issue does not seem so grave that it needs to be considered for a policy change, at least for now.
