Dear ICANN Committee:

Having worked personally with sex offenders it disturbs me greatly that 
this type of site would legitimize pornography and open the door for sex 
abuse of minors and adults alike after viewing this type of media. 

If you are even considering setting up .xxx domains, I would highly 
encourage you to hear some of the horrible stories of the victims of this 
type of media - the ones watching and the ones victimized by it. 

I have a personal friend now who was forced to watch porn by her husband 
and is contemplating suicide daily.  She has two small children who will 
become victims as well.

Please work hard to get pornography off the Internet, not help put more on 
it!  The decision you make may open the door to much more horror than you 
can even imagine. If you don't believe me, ask anyone that works with the 
victims of this "free speech." You will find it is not "free."  It is 
costly and our youngest will pay the price. I would not want that to be on 
my conscience.

Sincerely,


Bonnie N. Walters
