I'd like to propose a solution first described on the mailing list in
December:

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-12/msg00093.html

With a slight modification as proposed by Janusz:

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-12/msg00102.html

The element structure could look like this:

<contact:disclose flag="0">
  <contact:email>
  <contact:voice>
</contact:disclose>

The above means that the email address and voice telephone numbers should
not be disclosed (I've modified Janusz' proposal slightly to use a boolean
value for the flag instead of a yes/no enumeration to simply the schema a
bit).  Server policy would determine the default value for disclosure if the
<contact:disclose> element is not provided.

If I remember correctly the feeling of the room in San Francisco was that
this could be limited to the contact mapping.
