I Vigorously Oppose the .XXX Domain

[Michael Boys <m_boys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members of the Board of ICANN:

I am writing as a professional counselor to urge you to STOP the proposal of
the .XXX domain. In addition to strong opposition from both sides of the
argument, this new domain would only increase the amount of pornography
available on the Web, easing accessibility to hard core pornography to
minors and adults alike.

Pornography is a widespread, ever-growing crisis, polluting the minds of its
viewers and negatively changing attitudes towards women and children. Please
do NOT participate in the destruction of marriages, the abuse of *children*,
and the demise of *women*.

A more appropriate goal should be to CEASE the distribution of this
destructive material by prosecuting those responsible for it, not to protect
pornography on the .XXX domain.

Again, please do NOT ALLOW the proposal of the .XXX domain.  In my
counseling men and women who have suffered the dramatic ill effects of
Pornography, it is obvious to me that this will only increase violence
against women and the decay of marriages and families.


Michael A. Boys
