Hi Everyone,
I received an email from Namecheap this morning stating that ICANN is in the process of making the WHOIS directory public.
What this means is that your names and address details that you provided when you purchased your website domain name will be publicised.

The problem with this is that you could end up with unscrupulous people contacting you and making threats. This has already happened to one WA member that I know and it can be very frightening if the culprits also know your home address.
Namecheap have set up a campaign to try and stop this from happening. See the attached link: https://www.respectourprivacy.com/
We have until July 27th before a final decision on this matter is made.
Take care.
