ICANN - Graham Cobb Says Respect Our Privacy

[Graham Cobb <g+icann@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 a citizen of the EU, it is up to my government to decide what
information has to be provided, and what kept confidential, and under
what circumstances.

Private information should be kept private.

Thank you.
