ICANN - Curtis Chappell Says Respect Our Privacy

["Curtis" <c.chappell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN - 

After discovering the news that your organization is considering opening up
the whois data for commercial activities, I would like to send you the
following request NOT to move forward with this motion.

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. 

Regards 
Curtis Chappell
