iCANN - Respect Our Privacy

[David Sandberg <mystic_fm@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):

As a private individual with a website that currently helps to generate an 
extremely modest amount of income, this proposal terrifies me.  If I was 
required to make my home address and other personal data available to any 
criminal who wishes to capitalize upon it in order to have any chance to build 
my own business, I would probably have to give up on it entirely.  As I assume 
your intention here wasn’t to stymie economic opportunities for private 
individuals, I fervently urge you to withdraw these proposed changes.

Private information should absolutely be kept private. Thank you.
