ICANN - Myles Crawford Says Respect Our Privacy

[Myles Crawford <m.a.crawford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To whom it may concern at 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, and such a reputable organisation 
as yourselves should be ensuring that this is followed through, with no 
questions asked.


I personally ask you to seriously rethink this.

Thank you for your time.
