Please don't disallow privacy services

[Jimmy Thrasher <jimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

- 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.
- I fear that the unintended consequences will be too great. For
instance, the ability for criminals and internet bullies to "dox" those
they don't like will be even easier than it is today. What other
consequences will there be?

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.

Jimmy
