If you read the questions posted at ICANNs share your thoughts page : http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/share-24jun13-en.htm, it's clear they've already made their decision to move forward this this ridiculous plan.
Whois is an invaluable tool for web hosters and managed service providers. To say we'll need to request access to this information in the future is absurd. I see no security "risks" with the whois information being available. If i'm able to legally look up ownership and tax records for property in the US, why is it more dangerous to view the ownership details of a domain name / ip block?
I simply don't understand what they hope to "fix" with this system.
it is pretty good. it is however a bit buggy. you will find that it sometimes can get out of sync. it can also rarely totally screw up the recording process by making everything totally jumpy and wacky. It will also sometimes make changing channels and doing misc guide stuff really laggy. Thats because it starts a new record buffer each time you change to a new channel and it sometimes simply cannot keep up.

the company could promise people dont use it as a place to vent their frustrations with customers.
its amazing. i dont know about the other mail administrators out there, but im in the business of providing email services to my users.
my first goal as a mail admin is to ensure my users can send and receive email with all other users on the internet, legitimate or otherwise.
only after meeting that goal will i care to keep their inboxes free from spam and backscatter. backscatter should take a backseat to legitimate email.
