I have no problem with this private indentifying information being held by
ICAAN or any other responsible party in case situations like this arise.
However I don't see the added value in this regard of having this
information made public to anyone. If a problem like this occurs, cannot
ICANN or other entities involved trace the information? For example, I once
was receiving threatening emails and the police got involved and worked with
Yahoo to identify the person, who never disclosed his identity.

served by ICANN not only having my home address and other personal
information but having this available in a public registry, available for
sale, then I'll consider putting down my home address or paying the extra
cost to keep these private (effectively more than doubling the domain
registration cost if using the GoDaddy privacy option).
About 10 years ago, my web server was broken into by some hooligans in
(I think Sweden). I saw several connection attempts from some IP addresses
in Sweden and England. I was able to look up the domain to which these
IP addresses belonged (a University in England, and some ISP in Sweden).
By looking up the owners of the domain, I was able to let the admin in
England know that their system had been broken into, and let the ISP
in Sweden know that some of their customers were breaking the law.
