ICANN - Mark Ptolemy Says Respect Our Privacy

[Mark Ptolemy <mptolemy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To whom it may concern at 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. This is a basic civil right in any 
democratic society.
- No one's personal information should be revealed without a court order, 
regardless of whether the request comes from a law enforcement agency and 
especially if the request comes from a corporate entity or individual.

Private information should be kept private. Please respect the right to privacy 
of millions of people around the world.

Thank you.



Mark Ptolemy
