ICANN - Chris Tinker Says Respect Our Privacy

[Chris Tinker <belroth2@xxxxxxxxx>]

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. Thank you. 

(To any reading this: 
If you as a business have even one sociologist amongst your employees, you 
should already know the cost of exposing such information to the world. In a 
place where people like Edward Snowden are heros, it would indeed be a bold and 
stupendously foolish move on your part to make such a change. But you don't 
have to listen to me now, and you probably won't. That doesn't really matter. 
It will be evidenced by what comes in the future to you from the changes you 
make now soon enough.)
