To John O. Jeffrey, General Counsel and Secretary, ICANN, et al:

In part as an affiliate program for the adult entertainment industry, this aspect of 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.

It should be noted that my company's involvement in the adult entertainment industry has been ongoing since 1997, and that we have, and always will act responsibly. Of the adult domains that we maintain, all have been registered as such, so blocking those sites as warranted is easy to do.

There is no need to reply. However, please feel free to contact me if you want further information, including a list of the adult domains that we own and operate.

Respectfully,

Bill Myers
