ICANN - Respect the Privacy of Website Owners

[Pamela D Lloyd <pdlloyd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN:

Regarding the proposed rules governing companies that provide WHOIS privacy
services (as set forth in the Privacy and Policy Services Accreditation
Issues Policy document):

I urge you to respect internet users' rights to privacy and due process.
- Everyone deserves the right to privacy.
- No one’s personal information should be revealed without a court order,
regardless of whether the request comes from a private individual or law
enforcement agency.

This is important for personal privacy, which should be respected not only
by governments, but by corporations. It is also important for the safety of
individuals doing business, many of whom may become the targets of stalkers
or other disreputable people or entities through no fault of their own.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Pamela D. Lloyd
