ICANN - Simon Black Says Respect Our Privacy

[Simon Black <simon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sirs,

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, unless there are some controls 
about this.

I have not problems about being transparent about who owns domain names, but we 
also need to ensure that there are safeguards to ensure that this transparency 
is not abused by those you are trying to expose.

Thank-you for your consideration.



Best regards,
Simon

Simon Black
Director
