iCANN - Respect Our Privacy

[William Sames <wsames@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN –

I have developed websites for my own small businesses and student 
organizations.  I strongly support private registration or WHOIS 
protection of personal information (address, etc).  Many small business 
owners register websites with a personal address, which should be kept 
private (unless a court order requests the info).
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. Thank you.
