Hi ML,
For individuals, you get significant privacy:
https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six551
Home owners' associations seem like a gray area to me. You're talking
about a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to represent a
group of residences collectively. I think I'd err on the side of
listing the HOA's legal name along with the postal address at which
the HOA prefers to be contacted but I also think it would be worth
bringing up the question on the ARIN PPML. ARIN public policy is a
dynamic thing -- it changes and clarifies when good reasons are
presented and frankly I think you've hit on a good reason.
Apartment management companies, where the entity is unambiguously
for-profit, are really past the gray area. Their customers are
residential, but they themselves are a commercial entity vending
services. Their customers may be entitled to privacy but they aren't.
Regards,
Bill Herrin
