ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

[Eric Matthews <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

I own several domain names for small sites and miscellaneous uses. 

I deserve and fully expect to protect my personal information while on the 
internet. No one has the right to get my personal information without a court 
order and due process. 

The internet is a wonderful but also a dangerous place.  The proposed rules 
governing WHOIS privacy services would significantly decrease my ability to 
protect my personal information and would seriously degrade my trust in 
conducting transactions over the internet. 

Do not be pressured by those organizations that seek to limit the privacy of 
others for their own gain. Stand for what is right and protect the privacy of 
small internet users such as myself. Keep the internet free and secure for all. 

Thank you. 

Eric
