I don't think it should ever be acceptable to have to 'sign up' to report a security/network problem.
Apples and oranges -- this isn't signing up to report a security issue. SNDS is Microsoft provindg you data regarding what they can see about your IPs sending mail to Microsoft's networks. It certainly appears to be optional. If you are an ISP or somebody else sending any sort of significant amount of mail, it can be very useful. I've found it quite helpful. In theory, the point of registration is to track which data is given to whom, to prevent abuse. When/if you choose to apply, somebody at a published network administrator address will be sent an email requesting permission to give the registered user access to the data.
