This is great James, and thanks for forwarding. While I am all for anonymity, on online petitions, I think it is a good idea to list who is behind it.....just in case there are allegations that those who put it up have a vested interest. In this case, if the registrars who charge a fee for proxy services are behind it, we are open to cheap shots about how we are protecting their income streams. I will import the example of with/without privacy into our text, as we want people to submit comments as well, not just sign the petition, and I think it really helps to see what we are dealing with.
