This probably requires further elaboration.  For example, are we  
suggesting that Registrars proactively check the accuracy of  
registrant's WHOIS data both on initial registration and  
subsequently, or act only when it comes to the notice of the  
registrar.  And should there be a more detailed requirement that  
registrars give the offending registrant notice of the inaccuracy/ 
incompleteness of the data for a set time period, and the followed  
by  termination of the registration.  Also should re there separate  
provisions if the information is not complete (all information  
required under RAA 3.3.1.6-8)  or only if it is inaccurate?

Agree. The recommendation -is very broad - i.e., data to 'law  
enforcement agencies' for 'prevention...."   Both terms are very  
broad and generally, if there is a basis on which information is  
sought, courts/magistrates will grant a subpoena anyway
