Domains used for commercial purpose should NOT be ineligible for privacy and proxy registrations.

[Carsten Neubert <carstenbrt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

regarding the questions raised in the section "On Disclosure and
Publication in relation to Requests by LEA and other Third Parties other
than
Trademark and Copyright Owners" (Initial Report, PPSAI) , specifically on
the topic of whether commercial activity should preclude the use of P/P
services:

Every country has laws on what information commercial entities have to make
publicly and readily available. Every country also has laws on when
information has to be made available by service providers to LEA and other
third parties. Complying with the applicable law is indeed necessary, but
preemptively denying P/P services to commercial entities on the ground that
someone might someday have a legitimate right to the information would be
nothing but a privacy violation.

Everyone has the right to privacy as long as it's within lawful boundaries.
And those boundaries are to be determined (often case-by-case) by
jurisdictions, lawyers, and judges -- and not preemptively generalized by
Internet providers and organizations. Thank you.
