The portion I snipped I am pretty much in agreement on as for any type of security rationale it makes little to no difference that we invade the privacy and make these things public. In California the Drivers License data is only public to those with a legitimate justification for knowing, and it certainly does not hamper the police in knowing.
 
As for this part I left intact I think there is a major problem. While we all have distrust for the government and "politician" this is exactly what we need in DNS Oversight. People that get elected by the people are in fact politicians who have a right to govern. Here we are governed by those we cannot elect. If the at large were allowed to work appropriately and there was membership voting rights in ICANN, then the people running for office would in fact be politicians that we would elect. Legitimate governments actually work this way and are far better than the elitist rulers we have today. I am afraid you cannot ask for no politics and yet demand it at the same time.
I think what you really are saying is that we do not want bureaucrats running the DNS or at least we want our bureaucrats running the DNS.

It is for reasons such as these that government and politicians should be
kept out of DNS oversight; and it is exactly for these reasons that ICANN
should attempt to legitimise its mandate by breaking loose of NTIA/DOC and
seeking instead to build a structure based on open consultation and the
worldwide endorsement of internet users.
