underline the fact that the data commissioners commented in
some of their earliest (2000) correspondence with ICANN that
it was not acceptable to organize a directory in such a way as
to allow reverse directory lookup, in other words what are all
the domains that an individual has registered. There is no
legitimate purpose for that search capability to be available
to the wider public. This does not of course mean that bona
fide investigators should not be allowed to do that. <br>

While it could not have hit a nicer guy, he completely and
accurately followed policy and look where it lead. Hi private
address and telephone number as well as email address known to the
world, other domains he registered for himself and his family
published, etc. As his email address was compromised in no less
than three leaks (plus one honorable mention on Wikileaks), and he
recently tweeted his password, it may even be possible to dig
deeper.

I hope this helps remind folks that getting private data out of
the public view is a good thing.
