ICANN - Chase Baer Says Respect Our Privacy

["Chase Baer" <xochipelli@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):

As a business owner and citizen with prior experience in the financial
industry, I am very active and aware regarding privacy concerns and rights.

Privacy laws and protections exist for a reason, and I personally feel they
are applicable and should be extended to whois information as a natural
consequence.

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. Thank you.

Chase Baer
