This is not a new story, but has been going on for seven years according to the article. In this part of the article, it's all about privacy vs law enforcement:
"The conflict pits individuals and groups that favor privacy protections against organizations and law enforcement agencies that favor data access."
The IGP doesn't see it as an argument for/against privacy, but are saying it is a profit vs security issue:
"One of the problems this presents for registrars is that greater access would hurt their privacy service business."
