#2This sounds like the whois privacy that we all know and have to pay for, will be mandatory to implement on all domains everywhere, becoming free?

#3This is amazing.
Finally I can stop all that "SIGN UP YOUR WEBSITE FOR " spam incoming from my whois entries.

Think so?
"The public WHOIS would include an anonymized email address or a web form from which messages could be forwarded to the registrant email address."

So that would mean that I could not control rotation of that address anymore? That sounds bad ...

That's far better than the current system.
Atm I have to expose my email domain, which means some spammers just fire a broadside of this crap.
When it comes from an anonymized email forwarder, I can easily just redirect it into the spam folder.

That's fine, you just route to /dev/null everything that goes to the anonymised address; the email headers either won't be re-written or will be re-written a la RFC 5321. Either way you'll be able to easily identify emails sent to the anon email address and dump them on the floor.

As well as any legitimate emails coming to you regarding your domain.

What purpose does the Whois email serve if most people want to directly send it to their spam box? Seems like they should just scrap it.
