I believe Frank's concern is that he wants the ability to refuse
services to sites who have not published accurate contact information
through whois. If a ccTLD were to, for instance, refuse to publish any
contact information (even if the registrant *wanted* it published) this
makes his life difficult.
I'd hope that European privacy laws would be flexible enough to allow
for voluntary publication of contact information by TLD operators.
