First, the "affected parties" are, in many cases, engaged in consumer protection, anti-abuse (of many different types), anti-counterfeiting and other activities that benefit registrants -- and more broadly, the security, stability of the Internet and trust in the Internet. Second, the "registrants" aren't really in the battle. We have people advocating for greatly expanded privacy protections, but they are not representing the registrants. They may sincerely believe the speak for the registrants, or believe they know what's best for the registrants -- or may just be privacy advocates. Whether privacy benefits the vast majority of registrants -- and whether the benefits outweigh the costs -- is very much an open question. (We've heard about some edge cases through anecdotes, but that is not indicative of anything but bits of the edge.)</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Setting "affected parties" against "registrants" is likely to keep us mired in an unproductive "locked-horns" mode.
