Task Force to call for creation of Whois helpdesk?

in Random Bytes

Antonio Harris of the GNSO Whois Task Force brings up the question of unlisted whois records.

"A policy similar to "unlisted" telephone numbers could be applied. This would mean that the demands on registrar's resources would increase as law enforcement agencies, intellectual property lawyers and network operators, ISPs, etc. would require access to the "unlisted" information, and thus a "request for data desk" become a need for each registrar?"
