[E-trademarks] Trademark assignment form in Assignment Center

Why do they need the info if it’s not public and they aren’t going to communicate with the assignees?  And of course, we should we trust them not to make it publicly available?

EXTERNAL EMAIL
Update: I talked to the Ass. Center helpdesk -- was told "Trademarks made Assignments" change that "receiving party" email field from optional to mandatory. Hmm, any legal basis for that, I wonder?
Also was told that the email address is not displayed on the public cover sheets, and that Assignments will communicate -- as it should -- with the address provided for the Correspondent.
So it does not appear to matter very much.

Resurrecting this old thread on TM Ass. Center requiring the person recording documents to provide an email address for each receiving party.
Any updates / information on this? I have a set of these to record, and I do not represent (all of) those receiving parties. Nor do I have an email address for each.

Providing the email address is a new requirement rolled out with patent Center. Does anyone know what they do with this email? In other words, how critical is it that the email is a good email today and in the future?

Is providing the receiving party’s email address a new requirement?  I don’t remember having to provide that the last time I filed a trademark application.  Above the box it says, “Adding an email address is very helpful,” but is now mandatory before moving to the next page.
