I think I have found a definition to make do with, at the P&P Specification at the RAA:
Terms of service and description of procedures. The P/P Provider shall publish on its website and/or Registrar’s website a copy of the P/P Provider service agreement and description of P/P Provider’s
procedures for handling the following:
2.4.1 The process or facilities to report abuse of a domain name registration managed by the P/P Provider;
2.4.2 The process or facilities to report infringement of trademarks or other rights of third parties;
2.4.3 The circumstances under which the P/P Provider will relay communications from third parties to the P/P Customer;
2.4.4 The circumstances under which the P/P Provider will terminate service to the P/P Customer;
2.4.5 The circumstances under which the P/P Provider will reveal and/or publish in the Registration Data Service (Whois) or equivalent service the P/P Customer’s identity and/or contact data;
and
2.4.6 A description of the support services offered by P/P Providers to P/P Customers, and how to access these services.
Cheers,

Asunto: Re: [Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] definitions of relay, publication, reveal
Ro clarify the meanings of the terms Relay and Reveal, as used in the GNSO's Terms of Reference for a proposed Privacy & Proxy Relay & Reveal Study (dating from 2010):
?
For many domains, Registered Name Holders can be reached directly at addresses obtained from WHOIS. However, for Privacy/Proxy-registered domains, Registered Name Holders or third party licensees cannot
be reached directly via WHOIS- published addresses. Instead, communication relay requests may be sent to the Privacy/Proxy service provider published in WHOIS, or attempted using addresses obtained from other sources, websites or communications
associated with the domain.
?
For many domains (including those registered via Privacy services), the Registered Name Holder's identity is published directly in WHOIS. However, for domains registered via Proxy services, the name of
the licensee is not published in WHOIS; third party licensees can typically only be identified by
asking the Proxy to reveal the licensee's identity, given reasonable evidence of actionable harm.
FYI these were the definitions we used in for this WG's outreach letters to the SO/AC/SG/Cs recently.
As some WG members know, the proposed Study was not done; instead, a Pre-Feasibility Survey for such a study was performed by Interisle Consulting, whose report in August 2012 has the following usages:
I hope the above helps clarify the two terms.
