I've only had time to briefly skim the document, but I couldn't find the definition of "commercial site." NameCheap claims it is too broad, implying that what most might consider non-commercial sites may be swept under it. Keep in mind that it seems usually if there's a problem with a law or regulation, it's one of definitions.
Also I'm not sure what problem the new rules are attempting to solve. If there is a complaint about a site (commercial or otherwise) there is already a procedure to contact the owner, cloaked or not. If there is a legal issue with a site, again there is already a procedure for that. If the whois info is inaccurate, yet again there is already a procedure for that.
So uh, what do we need to give up our privacy for, again?
