The idea of "guaranteeing maximum anonymity" is
indeed somewhat naive in my opinion. Perhaps
the answer is in the word "maximum" which could
easily be a very low bar. However, the very
act of using OpenNIC domains does actually give
users a fair amount of anonymity compared to
using standard DNS.

Regarding something being stated, I didn't see
any charter, draft or otherwise, for this TLD.
