certainly, the general drift within ICANN over the years has been to treat whois data as an enforcement tool, so there's clearly support, as you suggest, to punt in a way that allows it continue to 'evolve' in that direction. otoh, verizon was one of the members of the hilarious whois not-really-a-committee [tbtf.com], and they've been remarkably aggressive in resisting a court order to hand over info about a p2p user on their network. granted, that's quite different from whois data; but, still, it seems as though there should be some structural resistance in these areas, if only because the cost of compliance and creep could be high for carriers. so it may just be that the punt stems from a very real lack of consensus among the 'stakeholders' in their current constellation; the task, then, will be for ICANN to engineer a different constellation with much less resistance.
cheers,
