That has lead to immediate attacks on the complaintant. For instance, some have been swatted (spoofed calls to police to generate and armed response where they kick in doors guns drawn). This has become so common place, many people either have stopped abuse complaints all together or use aliases to talk to registries.

Considering the history of the exact class of people who will have access to that information, what will YOU do to protect OUR privacy and security? Or can we expect now even our RDS queries will be forwarded to criminals also?

If you (as a class) were willing to partner with us, genuinely, I bet we COULD accomplish the mission without RDS. The problem is the history is that at best we get neutrality, but far too often providers have instead, in effect, partnered with the criminals and that has resorted in far worse attacks on OUR privacy and security.

John,

Isn't your description a good advocacy piece for having privacy instead of ditching it ? The same privacy you would like to have, registrants would like to have, and currently they don't.
