Proposed rules governing WHOIS privacy

[Patrick Rojas <patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Authority: US Constitution "The right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly
describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be
seized."

Warren and Brandeis, *The Right to Privacy*, 4 Harvard L.R. 193 (1890)
Prosser, *Privacy*, 48 Cal.L.Rev. 383 (1960)
Second Restatement of Torts at §§ 652A-652I (1977)
*Wheaton v. Peters*, 33 U.S. 591, 634 (1834)
T.M. Cooley, *A Treatise on the Law of Torts* 29 (2d ed. 1888)
*Olmstead v. U.S.*, 277 U.S. 438, 478 (1928)
18 USC § 2510 et seq.
18 USC § 2702(a)
*Tehan v. U.S.*, 382 U.S. 406, 416 (1966)

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
