John,
We live in a world where there are competing rights. Your own right to free speech is tempered by laws that prohibit you from maliciously screaming "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre.
Within ICANN I think that it's well past time to acknowledge that privacy rights exist, and that they too must be tempered by appropriate policy.
I think it would be useful to start talking about privacy and anonymity separately. For both policy and practical purposes, they are very different. /ross
