ICANN - Laura Carlanell Says Respect Our Privacy

["Laura Carlanell" <4hire@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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. 

- WHOIS already has the information and could provide it to law enforcement
with a warrant for security purposes.

- It's already bad enough dealing with scammers and spam, this would just
make it easier for criminals to victimize everyone.  

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
