[AusNOG] ICANN to bring an end to TLD privacy?

[Damian Guppy]

Is there any reason to have snail mailing address publicly accessible? Make
entity name and email address required fields, Phone optional and Snail
mail required but hidden. If my DNS is broken on _my_ domains, I generally
don't care, and don't want you phoning me about it. Why you would send a
letter in that case is beyond me, but an email is fine.

That or the AuDA way of doing things is a good ballance.
