Because the exchange of private data between a registrar and a VSP on the one hand, and the use of the verification code on the other hand, is of a necessary deterministic nature, I do think the considerations are applicable.

Then the text should say that. As it stands, the current text makes it
sound like the IETF is enabling some new method for human rights abuse
that otherwise would not be available to an abusive authority, and
that is absolutely not true. In fact, the text should be clearer on
the point that this mechanism does not give an abusive authority any
more leverage to violate human rights than they already posses.
