DO NOT expose WHOIS data without a court order

[Rich Schumacher <rich.schu@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.

As the holder of several domains this is extremely troubling. Revealing
this data will expose people to harassment and threats. Private information
should be kept private. Don't cave to the interests of the entertainment
industry.

Thank you.
