ICANN - Neum Schmickrath Says Respect Our Privacy

[Neum <neum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.  

Recently it seems those in power feel they should be able to know everything 
about everyone. That is not the case. Everyone should be able to expect their 
privacy rights to be protected.  

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.

Neum
