This is a terrible proposal. People deserve the right to anonymous communication. WHOIS Privacy services are a key part of granting that anonymity. This is especially bad for activists, whistleblowers, and the politically persecuted. But it is also just bad in an 'everyday' sense, for people who simply do not want their personal information out there visible for the whole world to see.
