The Go Daddy Group, Inc., today announced the debut of its new website, thedangerofnoprivacy.com, devoted to raising public awareness of a recent decision by the U.S. Government to eliminate private registrations for certain Internet domain names.
In early February, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ('NTIA'), a part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, decided that domain names bearing the .US extension could no longer be made private. In accordance to the decision, Go Daddy has launched the site to encourage awareness as well as foster discussion and debate over the NTIA's decision.
According to the company, the visitors to the site are encouraged to sign a petition urging the NTIA to reconsider its decision eliminating private .US domain name registrations. Petitioners can express their individual comments on the petition, and are also provided a means for contacting their U.S. Representatives and Senators via fax or email about the matter.
"The NTIA has wholly disregarded the needs and desires of thousands of law abiding citizens to keep their personal identifying information out of the WHOIS database." Worst of all, the NTIA has refused to disclose the motivation behind the decision to eliminate privacy protection, and has further refused to reveal why it failed to hold any public hearing or elicit comments of those affected," said Bob Parsons, president and founder of Go Daddy.
