ICANN - Josh Hunter Says Respect Our Privacy

[Makoto <makoto@xxxxxxxxx>]

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

Some of us have a need to keep our personal contact information private 
in order to protect our safety. When running websites that are 
politically motivated in any sense, or sponsor heated subjects such as 
LGBT / Gay Rights and so on, we often become the target of direct 
threats and harassment from various individuals. By forcing us to 
advertise our address and contact information with our domain 
registrations, you are putting out safety in jeapordy by giving these 
indivuduals unrestricted access to us.
Please respect our rights to privacy.
