[CPWG] [registration-issues-wg] One additional EPDP issue

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Dear Alan,

what is the alternative? It seems that the majority of participants in
the EPDP object to mandatory email addresses such as abuse at example.com
or tech at example.com because they support the ridiculous argument that
someone's name could be "abuse" or "tech". When faced with such level of
posturing that defies logic and when finding out that this is the view
of the majority of the participants, one cannot help but thinking there
are political forces at work to make domain names completely anonymous
and therefore unaccountable.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
