Domain Privacy at Risk at the OECD in a Devious Move to Bypass ICANN

It is highly probable that if the OECD were to adopt new rules recommending that e-commerce websites maintain public domain registration information, then this may find its way into laws and policies around the world—thereby precluding the operators of those websites from availing themselves of privacy protective services. Worst of all, such rules could override any decision made by ICANN to maintain the availability of these privacy services for commercial users.

This could scupper those that want to keep their details private!

The solution has to be registering to generic addresses and generic job titles. That will go some way to solve the issue. Using an accountant's address is commonplace, and avoids disclosure of a home address.
For example,
e-mail address secretary @example.com
Registered address: A Accountants, Any Street, Any Town

Alternatively, how about another entirely new line entry for the whois? One which is a public registration (see above).
