ICANN - Michael Johnson Says Respect Our Privacy

[Michael Johnson <mjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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. 

With the rising rate of harassment originating online, forcing the display of 
personal information can enable harassment campaigns and even dangerous 
practices such as SWATing.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
