ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

[<admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN –

As a freelance journalist, I believe in the right to privacy. Some of the 
content I post is not accepted by everyone. Individuals registering domain 
names shouldn't have all their private WHOIS information exposed. Thus, I 
believe the ICANN should instead tender a private registry and a public 
registry if desired instead of forcing off all this information into the public 
WHOIS servers.

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.

Faithfully,
A big internet user
