[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Principle on Proportionality for "Thin Data"access

It is still stored by the provider in a service operated by the provider
and edited with an interface created by the provider using whatever
business logic or validation that is written by the provider.  Fine,
control is not the precise word.

All that being said, if SOA is ok even when editable only by an
interface by the provider then so is all WHOIS data which is entered by
the consumer.  It really is either/or here.  You can't on one hand say
there are no privacy implications of SOA and then turn around when you
have an almost identical set of facts and cry privacy foul over whois.
