ICANN - C Pickett Says Respect Our Privacy

[Cat Pickett <lyticat@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. *Making personal information
public exposes individuals and businesses to considerable personal risk via
increased spam, spoofing, doxxing, and identity theft.*

- 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. Due process is a constitutionally protected right for
individuals and businesses.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.

C Pickett
