ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

[ette Ella <ette.ella@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.

I make fine jewelry and sell it on the internet.  My customer is protected
by paying with a credit card, which allows a reversal of charges.

I maintain a low profile by never sharing my personal information.  A jewel
theft increases the risk of injury to me and my family.

If you release personal information on the internet, one result will be a
significant increase the use of guns to defend against criminal intent.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
