Often the BGP process involves the exchange of private details that the end user may not wish to share.
"Often" here means "sometimes". (1) /Why/ are "private details" being exchanged *sometimes*, but other times not?
(ie. there appears to be variability in the process, but that variability is not documented...; otherwise the requestee would likely already have pre-submitted the information, because of knowing clearly what was going to be requested.
The Portal is being redeveloped and one of the new facilities will be full traceability and transparency for all allocation workflows, including the BGP process.
Teaching a computer, first requires knowing/recording the steps.
(Yourself/Brian know/knew how the workflow was done, but at the moment that information is still locked away, and not openly shared).
If you, or anyone on this list, would like to have input to the development process please contact me and/or Rosy off list.

(2) What can I/we do to help, to keep discussion like this *on list*?
Here's the same standard offer to the trustees/employees; (*it requires a conscious decision+commitment to *want* be open...)
I (Paul Sladen) am willing to help Ampr/ARDC organise documentation- stuff. It is only possible to organise what is already written down and shared.
(3) Do yourself/the trustees want to do this?
