WHOIS privacy

[Tim Rowley <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Can you imagine professions like lawyers having to reveal their home
address to the public in order to have a website. Although I'm for more
transparency in business in many ways we can't let this happen.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
