I suggest you deny .XXX sTLD

Dear ICANN,

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.

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.

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.

While some of this message is a copy-and-paste of a message you're sure to receive from many others, please know that this does not mean we are not sincere about the message. Most adult webmasters are hard-working members of society who see the idea of this potential new sTLD as a terrible idea which is sure to hurt our businesses in a time when what we need is help not hindrance.
