Support for Option #1

[<mister_cursor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN, 

I am a member of the Sponsoring Community for the .xxx sTLD, and I have long 
been interested in registering names in the new .XXX sTLD.  I respectfully urge 
ICANN to abide by the Declaration of the Independent Review Panel and enter 
into a registry agreement with ICM Registry without delay. Further delay in the 
launch of .XXX will erode confidence in ICANNs  accountability, credibility, 
and legitimacy.

Regardless of the nature of the sTLD, ICANN must respect the procedures it has 
established to ensure accountability to the wider Internet community.Failing to 
fully abide by the decision of the IRP will demonstrate that ICANN has no 
meaningful commitment to accountability, and will seriously damage ICANN's 
legitimacy and authority. 
Therefore, ICANN has only one option if it wishes to preserve the integrity of 
its procedures and its long-term credibility as the manager of the DNS: 
immediately execute a registry agreement with ICM and allow ICM to proceed with 
the launch of the sTLD.
