Apologies, I forwarded a link to an older revision, here is the correct 
link:

My personal concerns lie primarily with section 4 in that they require 
registrars to expose registrants to a level of detail that might 
otherwise be made transparent in various registrar business models. I 
have deep concerns that ICANN's policies are interfering more and more 
in the business of registration, and less and less with the DNS. Domain 
name registration has been made significantly more complex in the last 
four years, with very little apparent benefit for registrants.
