Exposing WHOIS data is a dangerous idea

[Mat Hughson <mathughson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN staff,

The internet can be a dangerous place, cyberstalking and cyberbullying are
real things that people and companies deal with on a daily basis due to the
inherent anonymity granted to would be stalkers and bullies.

Taking away desired anonymity from companies and individuals that own the
rights to domain names is a solution to a problem that does not exist.

Please reconsider any rules that would impact this anonymity.

Thank you and Best Regards,
