ICANN - Andrew Fehr Says Respect Our Privacy

[Andrew Rietze-Fehr <andrew.rfx@xxxxxxxxx>]

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. 

Personally, I do not wish for any persons who want to do me harm to have access 
to my address. This "if you have nothing to hide then you shouldn't be worried" 
mentality just doesn't work in a world of racism, sexism, and bigotry that can 
lead to physical harm. In a perfect world we wouldn't need to worry about such 
things, but as everyone knows, our world is far from perfect.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
