iCANN - Continue To Respect Our Privacy

[David Sielaff <dsielaff@xxxxxxxx>]

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. 

Private information should be kept private. Making this information public
will lead to a dampening of innovation on the internet, as people don't want
their private information make publically available just because they want
to launch a website. The current level of privacy has served us well, and
there is nothing that has happened which would make us believe that it
should be weakened.

Thank you,
