Deny .XXX sTLD

[Greg Erickson <ezinternetatm@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.

I am certain you have received other emails with just the above, I am
choosing to elaborate somewhat because I want you to know it is something I
have given serious consideration to. To force all adult sites onto .XXX
would be disastrous, both financially for many business owners as well as
unfair and anti-competitive and quite frankly would go against the nature of
the internet itself. Please do not allow the creation of the .XXX tld.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
