It is not only LIRs. So many assignment objects also contain name and
Both problems result in the same outcome - information about individuals in the database. But they happen because of different processes. And so if we want to address them we should look at those processes separately.
I disagree that they are different processes. The process is to identify natural persons who hold blocks of address space. Whether they are LIRs holding allocations or End Users holding assignments, it is the same principle. But again it doesn't really matter. The policy proposal defines the principles. How those principles are applied to the process(es) is a matter for the migration/implementation plan.

I do see this policy as determining the principles. If approved then there would need to be further community discussion on a migration plan. This is not going to be a quick, overnight fix. Ultimately technical details will drop down to the RIPE NCC.
I must admit I struggled to work out what the proposal published at https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2022-01 would change. Does the text define new policy objectives? If so, I couldn't find them.
I think this is a matter of terminology. Principles: Principles are standards we use to guide our behavior in general. Principles guide action, guide decision, and a principle is meant to have broad application everywhere the conditions apply. Principles focus one’s ways and shape the means. They exist to be useful – over and over again. Objectives: Objectives are the ends. Objectives are whatever outcome you are trying to accomplish. They are always measurable and time bound. Ultimately, both principles and objectives can shape and guide your course. Objectives shape your course by what you’re steering towards. Destination naturally dictates direction. As you pursue objectives, principles cut in to shape which ways and roads you’ll take, how you shall proceed. Principles can also rule out certain ways as undesirable on principle. The policy proposal primarily defines the principles for the use of personal data in the RIPE Database. If the policy proposal is accepted, the objectives will be set out later in a migration plan and technical overview. This will define a number of steps to apply the principles to the database. cheers denis proposal author
