ICANN - Please Respect Our Privacy

[Adam Dorsey <adam.dorsey@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.

Frequently we see in the news cases of online harassment, stalking,
SWATting, etc.  Making public domain records mandatory would make it so
much easier for a disgruntled troll to physically attack any domain holder
they didn't like.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
