As Susan and Steve have repeatedly asked what my proposal would be to ensure contactability of the beneficial owner/registrant.

As a basis, a spec derivative of the WAP spec to the RAA would have to be developed. I took the liberty of modifying the WAP for this purpose as a basis for discussion.
This would bring the obligation of the privacy service provider to validate and verify the contact details to the same level of that of the registrar, thus ensuring the Service Provider has either accurate details or a duty to verify and validate.

Now, I would agree that some level of a contactibility guarantee is warranted. This could be something to this tune, as a basis for discussion:

"Service Provider are required provide a means for third parties to directly or indirectly communicate with the Beneficial Owner. Such means may include any of the following:
a) providing a postal mail forwarding address
b) providing a collective email point of contact for all domain names under the Service (such as abuse@service.provider)
c) providing an individual email point of contact for each domain name under the Service (such as string@domain.name or domain.name@service.provider)
...
...

Service Provider must inform potential complainants about the accepted means of communication on its website. Service provider may refuse to forward, process or even accept communications sent by a non-accepted means of communication. In case forwarding of postal communications is offered, Service Provider may charge complainant reasonable handling fees and costs for the forwarding service and defer the forwarding of communications until payment is received.

Service Provider may refuse to forward spam, duplicate messages, purchase or business inquiries, harrassing communications, anonymous communications and/or unwanted communications. Service Provider is authorized to update or modify the means of communication from time to time. Service Provider is authorized to blacklist complainants with a history of abusing the provided means of communication."

All subject to further discussion, ofc.

I realize this draft goes into detail more than we should in this WG, but having been asked for a proposal, I felt it necessary in order to move the discussion ahead.
Terms:
Service Provider - Privacy/Proxy Service Provider
Beneficial Owner - Replaces "Registrant"
filter - not deliver to Beneficial owner
Service - the privacy/proxy services
