ICANN - Raphael Titsworth-Morin Says Respect Our Privacy

[Raphael Titsworth-Morin <raphael@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

It only takes a few seconds to think of various cases in which publishing
this information could be problematic.

There are good reasons why privacy is important to a functioning democracy,
and I would hope ICANN has the good sense to understand this.

Thank you,
Raphaël Titsworth-Morin
