We also shouldn't forget that the removal of the the admin, technical 
and registered nameholder data in the oPOC proposal is contingent on it 
being replaced by new data with differing responsibilities such that the 
removal of the old data becomes inconsequential from a practical 
standpoint. i.e. Removing registrant data from the publicly displayed 
whois data is replaced by the addition of the operational point of 
contact data who has a responsibility to act as a contact point for the 
registered name holder (and therefore, for instance, deal with, and/or, 
pass on various issues related to the management of the name.)

I don't believe it is helpful or appropriate for this data to be removed 
unless there is data and process to replace it that facilitates the 
needs of the various stakeholders that have a legitimate need to 
interact with the registered name holder, or someone authorized to act 
on their behalf.
