Please do not release WHOIS privacy information

[Ben Krueger <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

** Especially using the wording that any website related to "commerce". You
know as well as I do that using vague wording like this is what allows
governing agencies to claim more power they is intended.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
