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.
