ICANN - Peter M. Haduch, Jr. Says Respect Our Privacy

["Pete Haduch" <trijas1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.


As a domain name holder and web space consumer - forcing me to unmask my 
personal and corporate information beyond what is publicly posted on my 
website would lead to me having to close my account due to the huge amount 
of email spam such an unmasking would allow.  My subscription allows for 
immediate and legitimate contact via my service provider while eliminating 
email spam and attacks on my personal accounts.  As the operator of a small 
business I can tell you that elimination of the privacy services would 
result in an instant, debilitating amount of spam to both my corporate and 
personal email accounts.  It would also expose my personal information and 
phone number to those who have no legitimate business contacting or visiting 
me at home.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Peter M. Haduch Jr.
