iCANN - Respect Our Privacy

[Kyle Claisse <kyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
- There already exists a mechanism for this information to be retrieved
for those with a legitimate request.
- The current WHOIS privacy rules allow domain owners to protect
themselves again mass data collection. There are many legal and
legitimate reasons to not want your information easily available for
anyone to access.


Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
