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. 

As a private individual who owns a website, I find this proposal disturbing and 
terrifying. As a woman, I am already subject to a barrage of threats on Twitter 
when I dare to share my opinion; I shudder to think what my life would be like 
if my home address were made available to every angry man with a vendetta who 
didn't like something I posted to my website. I see no good that can come of 
such a policy change. I urge you to do the right thing and keep private 
information private. Thank you.
