[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] One Way Gated Access to Data Might Work

Interesting, but I am not sure this is ultimately what we should be 
looking for for one simple reason. This proposed implementation 
apparently does not provide for any differentiation between access 
levels except for the three authentification levels.

So once one obtains and advanced authentification, one can access all 
data in the database, which I would consider insufficient 
differentiation. Access should be further scecialized on a "need to 
know" and "right to know" basis. For example, should a certified and 
authentificated law enforcement agency have access to all registrant 
data or only to registrant data that applies to their jurisdiction (plus 
maybe an identifier that details which jurisdiction applies to a data 
set that agency cannot access).

Similarly, would a IP rights holder have access to all data or only to 
just enough data needed to achieve their goal, which would likely be to 
contact the registrant?

In other words, the access level scheme should differentiate between 
levels of access much more and restrict that access to those with a 
right to access or a legitimate need to access without overstepping 
legal or jurisdictional boundaries.

This proposed implementation it too simplistic.

Best,

volker
