If Amazon makes domain names available under .SMILE, it will own all the second-level registrations. This certainly makes whois accuracy easy. Amazon will be your one point of contact for everything.

I would argue that highly distributed assets like we have under the current registration model provide more power and long-term stability to users who want to have ownership interests in their Internet assets.
