Please respect domain owner privacy

[Tim Smith <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

I'm a domain owner with several sites, some of which operate or link
to storefronts. I'm disturbed by the idea that it could become easier
for individuals who disagree with me to discover my contact
information.

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.

Tim Smith
