Proposed rules affecting WHOIS privacy

[Leo Andrews <mail@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.


*In some jurisdictions, such as across Europe, the provisions you are
proposing are likely to be unlawful under European Data Protection and
Privacy laws.*
Regards

Leo Andrews
