Concerned about domain privacy.

Dear ICANN,

I have great concern regarding the proposed rule changes governing companies 
that provide WHOIS privacy services, as set forth in the Privacy and Policy 
Services Accreditation Issues Policy document.  As a domain owner, and operator 
of my own web services, I have fear these rules can be easily 
abused/circumvented to push providers into revealing private information even 
for those of us who are not “Commercial” interests.  Being a longtime member of 
the internet community (and even a one-time member of the ICANN member-at-large 
body), I do not want to return to the days of non-private whois data.  This 
data is too easily abused for legal harassment, security attacks, and spam 
campaigns.

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.

Let us keep our privacy.

Sincerely,
David Cafaro
