ICANN has obviously already made their decision (Score 2)

If you read the questions posted at ICANNs share your thoughts page : http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/share-24jun13-en.htm, it's clear they've already made their decision to move forward this this ridiculous plan.

Whois is an invaluable tool for web hosters and managed service providers. To say we'll need to request access to this information in the future is absurd. I see no security "risks" with the whois information being available. If i'm able to legally look up ownership and tax records for property in the US, why is it more dangerous to view the ownership details of a domain name / ip block?

I simply don't understand what they hope to "fix" with this system.
