As I mentioned on  previous call, I don't believe that this is an 
appropriate addition to the whois policy. the registration process is 
already cumbersome, and it is rare that this level of detail is exposed 
to a registrant in the registration process surrounding the 
administrative, technical and other contacts. In my business, for 
instance, it is unlikely that any of this detail will be exposed to my 
customers and I will instead act as their point of contact in the same 
way that we act as their administrative contact. Other registrars and 
resellers may choose to simply designate the Registrant as the OPOC and 
others still may choose to expose their customers to this level of 
detail. I think this is a fair degree of flexibility and I'm really 
opposed to hardwiring this aspect of the registration process in such a 
prescribed way.

I would like to hear what requirement we are trying to address by 
prescribing this. I don't believe it has been adequately described, or 
perhaps I'm completely missing the point.

Regards,
