[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Revised Reveal Doc

Hi Todd,

not having discussed this with anyone else, I'd feel more comforable 
with language along the lines of:

“that the Customer has provided, or the Provider has found, 
specificinformation, facts and/or circumstances indicating that the 
Requestor’s trademark or copyright complaint is a pretextual means of 
obtaining the Customer’s contact details mainlyfor the purpose of 
contravening the Customer’s privacy.”


Solely is too strong, and needs to be toned down as even a partial 
connection to a potential violation would otherwise close this door.
I removed human rights as this is mainly about privacy.
Showing was also toned down to indicating. The provider is not a court, 
he cannot make legal determinations, but he can accept indications.
Finally, information was added to facts and circumstances, as again, the 
provider cannot make factual decisions in every case and should be able 
to rely on information.
