Re: [gnso-acc-sgb] WG B Proposal (although odd)

patrick and all,

  From what I believe you are suggesting here patrick, would
again place registrars/registries in control of what and whom
has access to any registrants data.  Am I reading your suggestion
correctly?  If so, than this would seem to erase privacy protections
for domain registrants/owners, and therefore negate OPOC.  Exposing
billing address selectable by people who may want it but do not have
a bonified need of same, is dangerous to the registrant in particular
and may be overly tempting to miscreant customers of that registrant,
or other miscreants with an ax to grind, ect., ect...
