Comments for proposed WHOIS privacy services changes

[Jennifer Francis <francjl@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am an individual who owns a handful of domains and utilitizes WHOIS privacy 
services for them. It is rather unnerving that the proposed changes would be 
made. I don't want my home address and cell phone number to be visible to 
parties who I don't give that information to myself. The world is a big place, 
and the internet makes information very accessible. My personal safety, and 
that of my family, is something that I value above all else. Domain owners have 
no choice but to have accurate contact information on file with their providers 
and I don't want to have to maintain a PO Box and alternate phone line just to 
protect myself from spam and harassment.

I understand the concern about illegal internet activity and trying to find 
ways to manage concerns around that. Anyone participating in truly dangerous 
activity is not going to be giving useful information to WHOIS privacy services 
or anyone else - it's all average people who would be impacted by this change, 
and it would not serve any of us well. Please reconsider and continue to 
support the current system of protections offered by WHOIS privacy services.
