ICANN - Charles Kelley Says Respect Our Privacy

[Kit Kelley <kelley2100@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN –

WHOIS privacy protects me from spammers and scammers who use the WHOIS info to 
spam me and to attempt to trick me into transferring my domain registrations 
with postal mailed "bills" sent to me via the USPS using my WHOIS information. 
If you remove the privacy protection, spammers and scammers will have a great 
bonanza at the expense of domain owners. Please don't let this happen.

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.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
