Randy - 
 
  Over the last decade, we've run multiple consultations with the 
  community regarding changing Whois.  These have either been the
  result of internal recommendations or suggestions from the ARIN
  community, and have covered a wide range of issues including the
  format of responses, the number of responses returned, the AUP
  for the Whois data, and more.  All of the archives of these are
  on https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html.  

  If you have a particular suggestion for changing whois, please 
  feel free to submit it.  If you'd prefer a different process
  altogether for discussing changes, please let me know.

FYI,
