Privacy, anyone?

[Johannes Ernst <johannes.ernst@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN –

I know it’s fashionable these days to say “privacy is over”. I happen to 
disagree — but for that, I need the cooperation of organization like your’s. 
I’d like to be able to register and use a domain name without exposing personal 
information to anybody. So:

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.

Cheers,



Johannes.
