Personally, I think having to present your real identity for a domain
name is a legitimate requirement. For small (/29 or smaller) IP allocations,
I have no problem with the upstream provider taking responsibility.
For domains and larger netblocks, I think the individual should be
accountable, identifiable, and, contactable.

It is possible to be anonymous and contactable. Is that that good enough (for domains, IP allocations, or other things served up via whois)? Is it key we know the owners real identity, or just know enough information to be able to contact them?
