Deny .XXX sTLD

["Joe Fredricks" <joe.fredricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As an affiliate program for the adult entertainment industry, my business' 
foundation is internet based. If ICM's application were granted and a .XXX sTLD 
were to be created it would negatively impact my business. Also it would put 
ICANN in the position of creating an entity to impose regulations and policy 
for the adult entertainment community-a situation that could easily stifle what 
is now a robust adult entertainment internet presence. 

I do not support the creation of a .XXX sTLD and believe that the ICANN Board 
was well within its rights to deny ICM's application in the 2007 Board meeting 
in Lisbon. 

It is imperative that ICANN consider the widespread opposition from the adult 
entertainment community to a .XXX sTLD as it makes its decision. For that 
reason, I support Option # 3 of the March 26, 2010 process options submitted by 
ICANN for public comment.

On a personal note, it is difficult to believe we are again in the position to 
be threatened with this one man's crusade to corner the adult entertainment 
market. The adult industry has collectively and individually demonstrated 
overwhelming opposition to ICM on countless occasions only to be forced, again 
and again, to defend itself against this attorney bent on profits in an 
industry of which he has no knowledge, experience, or association with, but 
wishes to help impose regulations on. This must stop.

Respectfully,
Joe Fredricks
