ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

[Liz Bailey <Liz.Bailey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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, on the basis that:



*      Everyone deserves the right to privacy; and



*      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 just that, private.



Thank you for your consideration of this email.



Yours faithfully,

Liz Bailey

London, UK
