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 -- William D.
