iCANN - Respect Our Privacy

[Rick Mann <rmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN –

I can't stress enough how important this is. Frankly, the current privacy 
features are insufficient, and cost extra; this privacy should be built into 
the system. But don't even *think* about weakening or making the current 
privacy options less convenient.

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.
