ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

[A W <akwilcox@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
It is already deeply unsafe for many people, (particularly women), to express 
their views online. Given the recent spate of death threats, rape threats, and 
tricking SWAT into raiding people’s houses, all in retaliation for simply 
expressing an opinion about *computer games*; online privacy is not something 
to be weakened.
Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
Adam Wilcox
