Thank you. For some reason I was unable to screen grab that pdf.

I have no personal knowledge of the DOI's infrastructure, and unless you
do, I think we're all left to speculate as to whether or not the "home
page server" of the DOI had access to the Indian trust data. My
speculation would be that it does if it's Internet connected...

I can see no reason why a server full of personal data would be.
