I understand that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) is considering establishing a "dot-xxx" domain for pornography.
Family advocates say this will only worsen the problem of addiction and
family breakdowns, caused by Internet pornography.
I also understand that this is the third time ICANN has considered a dot-xxx
domain. And It was stopped before, because of strong opposition WORLDWIDE. 
Patrick Trueman, formerly chief of the U.S. Department of Justice Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section, said the domain would only increase the
amount of porn on the Internet and make it more available.
"There is no evidence that the public wants or needs this domain," he said. 
There is also absolutely no evidence that any good would come of it."
 Pornography addiction is skyrocketing among adult males.
"Countless marriages are breaking up because of pornography use," he said. 
Sexual promiscuity is more widespread than ever before, because of
pornography. It is destroying lives and relationships, and ICANN should not
be using its authority to promote more of it."
State and federal laws prohibit the sale or distribution of illegal
pornography, or obscenity. Many sites violate those laws, according to
Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for media and sexuality at Focus on the Family
Action.
 The people who run those sites would be unlikely to adhere to the
regulations of a dot-xxx domain "without the force of law behind them."
Also"Moving pornographic content to a dot-xxx domain might hamper law
enforcement efforts"  
Our country is moving in entirely the wrong direction as it is--Please do not 
do this
