"We therefore need to model our approach on the worst possible actors, not
the best."

If this is the prism through which we view the "actors" involved here, that
would need to apply to all the actors -- so we need to view registrants as
a motley crew of phishers, malware providers, cybersquatters,
counterfeiters, child porn purveyors, illegal online pharmacies, and other
assorted malfeasors.  That would make WHOIS/RDS the rough equivalent of a
sex offender registry, and our requirements regarding availability,
contactability, accuracy, validation, etc., would need to be ratcheted up
very significantly.  We may even need a system to track registrants, if we
follow this thinking to its logical conclusion.

As fascinating as this dystopian worldview might be, I reject the idea that
this is an appropriate approach to our work.
