Dear ICANN Board Members:
 
I wrote yesterday but don't think my comments were sent to the correct E-mail 
at ICANN.
 
The Internet is not supposed to be used for illegal purposes. I consider the 
fact that you are even considering (again) a separate category for purveyers of 
pornography and obscenity via the .xxx domains most disturbing. 
 
Everyone will be able to find pornography even easier on the Internet, by just 
typing names in and adding xxx after them. Also, don't you even recognize that 
the hardcore obscenity on the Web not is not really legal? The fact that so 
much of it is available is due to lack of enforcement of our obscenity laws by 
the FBI, Customs, and others in various agencies, including the U.S. Justice 
Department.
 
The problem is a very serious one, leading to life-long addictions by children, 
teenagers and millions of adults, and affects society as a whole, cheapening 
wholesome sexual relations and turning it into a commercial circus run by 
people who couldn't care less about society, as long as they make a lot of 
money and frankly, avoiding taxes as well.
 
It is also appalling that you would even allow such a situation to develop. The 
pornographers working hand-in-hand with ICANN to "self-police" their .xxx 
domains while also doubling their money on other non-.xxx domains. 
 
The bottom line is that you are under no obligation to approve this il-advised 
proposal, set forth by the "adult industry", and I strongly urge you to reject 
it once and for all.
 
Please keep me informed on this issue, and thank you for hearing this citizen's 
opinions on this matter.
 
Sincerely,
 
Kenneth Lisenbee
