    Here is my proposed privacy consideration section, looking for any comments if this addresses things properly given the nature of SIP privacy in general.
    
    Privacy Considerations 
    
    As detailed in {{RFC3261}} Section 26 as well as {{RFC3323}}, SIP as a protocol inherently carries identifying information of both the initiator or 'caller' as well as the terminating party or 'callee'. 'origid', as defined in SHAKEN {{ATIS-1000074}} and described in this document is intended to be an opaque and unique identifier that is used by an originating telephone service provider to trace and identify where within their network (e.g. from a gateway or a particular service within their network) the call was initiated, so that either bad actors that may be either trying to illegitamately spoof identities or making fraudulent calls can be identified and likely stopped or held responsibiliy for the fraudulent activities.  While the opaqueness of the 'origid' identifier is intended to keep any direct or implied information regarding the origination of a set of calls that may have the same 'origid' to a minimum, it should be recognized that potential patterns whether intended or not may be able to be discovered.

    I’ve included a new terminology text as follows to address above comment and comment below:
    
       In addition, the following terms are used in this document:
    
       o  Verified association: is typically defined as an authenticated
          relationship with a device that initiated a call, for example, a
          subscriber account with a specific SIM card or set of SIP
          credentials.
    
       o  PASSporT: Defined in [RFC8225] is a JSON Web Token defined
          specifically for securing the identity of an initiator of personal
          communication.  This document defines a specific extension to
          PASSporT.

    I have addressed these issues and plan to submit with list consensus on above text.
