ICANN - Catherine Lundoff Says Respect Our Privacy

[Catherine Lundoff <clundoff@xxxxxxxx>]

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. 

Private information should be kept private. By making that information public, 
you are risking the safety and sometimes the lives of women, people of color, 
LGBTQ people and activists around the world. Women and minority groups are 
already at risk online - please don't cut us off from what can be a lifeline 
and resource.
Thank you.


Catherine
