Adult webmaster AGAINST proposed .xxx tld

[Bob <bob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As an adult webmaster, I want to make sure the following things are very clear:
1. The ICM does not represent me.
2. I do NOT want the creation of a .xxx tld.
3. I daily read and post on several adult webmaster discussion boards and can 
honestly state that nowhere in the adult webmaster community, there's any kind 
of support to be found for the ICM proposal. On the contrary: People are 
furious about it.

The ICM claims that the .xxx pre-registrations are votes for the .xxx and a 
clear sign of support from the adult industry. This is not true! The majority 
of those pre-registrations are from cybersquatters and people protecting their 
trademarks.

The ICM's other claim that a .xxx would make the web safer for children doesn't 
hold up either. We will not abandon our .com (or other tld sites), so the ICM's 
claim that people will be able to filter out adult content by filtering out 
.xxx domains, doesn't make sense... Unless of course ICANN has plans to force 
all adult content away from .com (and other tld) domains into a .xxx ghetto? Is 
that the way we are heading? ICANN as an agency that constantly patrols the 
.com domains looking for adult content? And who will pay for that if that's the 
case? 

Stop the madness! Kill the .xxx tld!

sincerely
Bob DD
