ICANN - Asa Rosenfield Says Respect Our Privacy

["Asa Rosenfield" <asaisthe7@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 we have seen all too much online recently. Private information should be 
kept private. It's vital that otherwise marginalized voices be allowed to 
commercially own domains without having to reveal personal information that 
could allow those who wish them harm to attack them.




In fact, I urge you to allow people to register a domain without being required 
to provide an address at all. This would go a long way to enabling the internet 
to flower as the diverse place it should be.


Regards,

Asa RosenfieldChairperson NAGSDP
