I would consider supporting the proposal allowing company anonymity if the proposal maintained a requirement for functional Tech and Abuse contacts with a real telephone number and a real email address.  I see no need for a physical or mailing address for these contacts.

The Tech and Abuse contacts need to be persons actually affiliated with the network.  Either direct employees or a responsible contractor who manages the network would be acceptable.  If the ISP manages the network then the ISP would be the appropriate contact, more appropriate in many cases than the company CEO certainly.  

I realize that at this time the discussion is really about the petition, so I will step back and wait until the proposal itself is being discussed to contribute further.
