And what is "every other countries"? I'm not a lawyer, but even if you are, have you done a legal study of all the countries on earth, because there are a lot.

Basically all actions against users given information in such a log. Contacting the ISP is a valid question, I believe contacting the ISP about completed actions are legal in most jurisdictions, contacting them about uncompleted actions is not. In the US it is legal to act on uncompleted actions after provocations (aka the perpetrators intentions), that is not legal in every other countries (eg quite few countries).
As I see it, all problems comes from public or partly public logging actions that are now in a private context.

In Norway it is legal to log such actions for the administration of the system, but as soon as it is used for actions against the users it would need a license (konsesjon) to handle such information.
What kind of action against users are you thinking of? All we're likely to do is block them, which would be administering the system. Are you suggesting that contacting their ISP to report abuse would be problematic? (That's the only other action I can think of.)
