The names should be published permanently. Why do we need extra
mechanisms for this ?

Dumps (and incremental dumps) of the registrars/repository (again the
draft is very unclear where the data is stored) databases should be
publicly available. Customers need to (electronically) sign an 'accept
publication of contact and domain data' on before hand to avoid privacy
law problems (but you are probably better in this matter ;-)).

The proposed 'ride' IETF working group is supposed to come up with
standards for the data formats for this exchange data to make the data
interchangeable with other registries (including IP & routing
registries).
