ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

["Emma (Creative Cat Apps)" <emma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
- Private information should be kept private.

There are people whose lives would be at risk if this information were
to be revealed - look at Facebook and the Drag Queen cases to see how
this is a very real threat. If anyone were to be exposed and suffered as
a result of your actions, you would be to blame - each and every one of
you making this poorly informed decision.

Thank you,
Emma Kalson
