070701 - Follow up ref SDS 3 0000, ref SDS 2 0000.
070702 -
070703 - Enhanced procedures and flexibility of providing confidentiality by
070704 - adding a new feature to automatically suppress (i.e., redact) names
070705 - from the Contact field in the manner shown by the example below.
070706 - ref SDS 0 WH4J  This complements existing capability for redacting
070707 - portions of a record, as explained in background.

0710 - Background and Evaluation
0711 -
071101 - This morning got a request to remove a name and entire organization
071102 - from an SDS record published on the Internet. ref SDS 3 0001  If we
071103 - were publishing on an intranet, this might not be necessary, but
071104 - public records present a lot of understandable concerns, both real and
071105 - imagined that suggest the need to suppress people and organizations in
071106 - the Contact section of SDS records.  Adding ability to suppress
071107 - publication of Contacts complements exisiting capability to suppress
071108 - narrative, which was created on 000329. ref SDS 1 5040
071110 -  ..
071111 - This seems pretty fast and easy to accomplish a broader range of
071112 - requirements for confidentiality.
