Respect internet privacy

[Jill Thompson <jthom388@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
Under European Data Protection Law you are not allowed to share someone's
personal information without their permission.
I hereby forbid you from releasing my personal information.
Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
Jill Thompson
Owner of a number of websites where WHOIS is protected.
