If the draft rules are adopted, any registrar that shields your whois data with a proxy service would be required to actually track your use of your domains and websites. They could be forced to cancel your privacy service and expose your data, or turn it over to anyone who complains about a site allegedly violating a trademark or a copyright.

Most worryingly, no court order, search warrant, or similar due process would be required. Yes, we are holding our noses, too: this stinks.

Gandi is asking everyone who has a stake in this to please check out the save domain privacy website at https://www.savedomainprivacy.org. If you agree with us (and a whole lot of other people) that these proposals stink, please, sign the petition. If you have time, and you really care about domain privacy, please read the proposal [http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-initial-05may15-en.pdf], give some careful thought to them, and submit your comments. Even if you feel strongly, there is no need to be anything other than constructively critical of what you don't like, and sincerely complimentary of what you do. Epithets (and, for that matter, adulation) belong on social media for your favorite pop stars, not as part of a serious, important policy-making, Internet-changing, multistakeholder process. We encourage you to engage, like Gandi does, with ICANN, and let your voice be heard.

It's your Internet.
