(1) Registry maintains 100% accurate contact records THAT ARE SUFFICIENT TO 
UNIQUELY ASSOCIATE INDIVIDUAL NUMBER RECORDS with a set of contact 
information that includes (1a) "a name," plus (1b) any current/working 
method of payment sufficient to cover recurring registry service fees.

No.  The numbers need to be unique in the universe of routable IPv4 
addresses. Only one registrant may be assigned to an individual netblock.

(2)  Registry maintains such information on file continuously, but shares it 
ONLY with duly authorized LEAa and individuals who have been explicitly 
granted access by individual registrants themselves?

No. I think it should be publicly accessible.
