.xxx, IMO, Will Involve ICANN (not Just ICM/Iffor) in Many and Constant Court Cases, Possible Criminal Conspiracy Trials, and NOT Protect Children Like .kids Might!

["Dave C." <davec@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Besides the very important Subject Line which IMO is what will happen if .xxx 
is approved, the below letter encompasses my opinions and comments (and, the 
major adult webmaster boards certainly show significant negativism against 
.xxx; and, a lot of concern about possible deals that might involve 
conspiracies and other matters that could land ICANN/ICM/IFFOR/"INSIDERS"/etc 
in time-consuming court actions). Please read this letter, then re-read it, and 
then give it a lot of thought. Don't give ICANN a huge and continuing black eye 
or irreparable loss of reputation. Protect my four grandchildren by putting 
.kids on a fast tract for approval; and, permanently reject the ICM matter and 
.xxx.

Here's the letter (Which  as of this moment, ICM has Not Responded to):

In my First Amendment protected free speech personal opinion, I herewith 
think/feel that ICM should immediately and permanently:

1. Withdraw their ongoing .xxx submission to ICANN; instead, show a non-profit 
motive and a helpful concern for children by instead requesting that ICANN 
quickly approve .kids.

2. Publicly publish on this and other boards, with a copy to ICANN (and 
Department of Justice?), the names and organizations of any person(s) or entity 
which they have entered into either a formal or informal or verbal 
deal/arrangement/understanding/trade/etc concerning .xxx, and reveal the 
specific and detailed quid pro quid and financial and other aspects of the 
matter with each person/entity (If ICM agrees to immediately and without 
reservation do Item 1 above, this paragraph might be mute?).

3. Provide a notarized letter to the Free Speech Coalition, with emailed and 
written copies to ICANN as well as this and other similar boards, that if .xxx 
is approved, ICM and it's personnel/partners/associates/"deal" individuals and 
entities/etc, whether already publicly disclosed or "secret", as individuals as 
well as organizations and corporate structures, will guarantee, backed by a 
voluntary and totally unrestricted unlocking of the corporate lawsuit veil and 
an agreement that the personal assets of all individuals involved are 
volunteered and available in addition to corporate assets for any future civil 
lawsuit findings, and herewith agrees that:

a. All present "adult" .com domains and/or .com sites will be grand-fathered 
indefinitely and have sole and continuing extended total rights, to and from 
ICM and other/future registries, to register their same .com domain name/site 
as a .xxx at the pricing discussed in the below paragraph c.

b. Like the free spirit of American and business competition, other registries 
may also offer .xxx registrations at or below the same price that they now 
presently offer .com registrations.

c. Since and like present .com adult sites/domains are already "policed" by 
government authorities, ICM agrees to drop it's proposed oversight, monitoring 
of content, censorship, and other aspects now being used to justify 
registration prices for .xxx that exceed .com prices presently offered by other 
registries. ICM will pledge not to charge more than $10 per .xxx registration.

d. If any future legislation at any level of government in any country is 
passed that restricts .xxx in any way that .com is not presently affected, or 
if any ISP/3d Party Billing/etc non-government element imposes 
rules/regulations/restrictions/etc which in any way limit revenue or operations 
of .xxx domains/sites, ICM and it's "secret" associates as mentioned in 
Paragraph 2 above, will immediately become monetarily responsible to cover all 
revenue losses and to refund .xxx registration fees, and to financially cover a 
buy-back of the former .com domain to replace the .xxx domain.

In my personal opinion, if ICM immediately does all of the above, people 
considering contact with their Senators and Representatives, the Department of 
Justice, the Department of Commerce, and other law enforcement and government 
agencies to seek a federal Court TRO against the ICANN decision while insisting 
upon the conduct of a full and complete Governmental investigation to insure 
that no criminal/conspiratorial/RICO/IRS/etc regulations or laws have been 
assailed by ICM or it's "secret" associates, should probably consider backing 
off; the same for non-U.S. folks affected adversely by .xxx if it is approved.

ICM, are you willing to quickly do the above?
