ICANN - Respect Our Privacy

["John Cardinal" <John@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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. 

Internet users can decide on their own whether or not to use domains that
have privatized WHOIS entries. If an Internet user perceives he or she has
been harmed in some way by a domain, there are various ways to pursue a
claim and if necessary, the domain owner information can be revealed after a
court order.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
