ICANN - Maria Allison Says Respect Our Privacy

[Adalia Woodbury <nutsandolts@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.

Private information should be kept private.

Aside from the privacy matter, people who are political writers, especially
women, are regularly harassed and threarened.  Making private data public
and therefore accessible to... unstable people will put owners and staff of
political websites at risk.

Thank you.
