PPSAI Team, Please note also the following excerpt from the privacy policy of Domains By Proxy, to supplement their Trademark and/or Copyright Infringement policy, which James already shared with us. It is publicly available on Domains By Proxy's site, and we thought it would be useful to pass it on to the Working Group to consider, along with the other policies being shared by other Providers: "Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including without limitation subpoenas), to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical. We will also share your information to the extent necessary to comply with ICANN's rules, regulations and policies. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take reasonable steps to notify you in the event that we are required to provide your personal information to third parties as part of legal process."
