Well, it has always been my position that .com domains are intended for commercial use, and any other use of them is really abuse.
While I oppose any attempt to retroactively impose any sort of registration restrictions on .com, .net, or .org, since doing this to a currently open-registration domain would be impractical and unfair (I said this back when the possibility of .org restrictions was "in the air", and still hold this position), I do support the tailoring of policies for the different TLDs to the type of users for which they are intended.
Thus, .com should have policies appropriate for commercial use, such as requiring public WHOIS information, while a TLD intended specifically for individuals (e.g., .name) deserves a much more privacy-friendly policy.
