ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

[Matt Richardson <Matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

If you force my private registration details public, there will be no gain for 
me, and huge gain for marketers, spammers, and the like. Why should I publicise 
my home address? In a world full of identity theft, please dont force more of 
my information public.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.

Regards,
Matt Richardson
