ICANN - Lawrence Nolan Says Respect Our Privacy

[Lawrence Nolan <legacyprog@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, regardless of whether the request comes from a private individual 
or law enforcement agency.
I would emphasize that, in the spirit of the development of the internet 
over decades through the selfless and rational efforts of uncounted 
thousands, the need for basic changes should be self-evident, not pushed 
from the top down.  The latter would be against the spirit of the 
"Requests for Comments" foundational concept.
Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
