Objection to any release of personal information without a court order

["Lisa M. Englert" <lisa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 strongly urge you to respect Internet users'
rights to privacy and due process.

 

As a small woman-owned business operating from my home office, I have
serious safety concerns about having to publicize my residential address
just to have a website. 

 

I firmly believe that everyone deserves the right to privacy - and that 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. 

 

I implore you to respect the privacy rights of all netizens by *not*
revealing their personal and confidential WHOIS data without due process.

 

Thank you.              

 

Best regards,
Lisa Englert
