.XXX is not supported by the adult entertainment industry

["Paul Marcinko" <pmarcinko@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been an adult webaster for nearly 10 years. Let me start of by saying
I am completely opposed to the .XXX extention.

I would like to point out to ICANN's board that not one single adult
entertainment company big or small has publically stated
any level of support for the creation of the .XXX extention.

ICM Registry has previously claimed to have written support from "24 major
suppliers of adult online content". Not one of these "24 major
suppliers" has ever identified themselves publically or made any public
statement in support of .XXX

Since these documents are being construed as comprising a "sponsoring
community" for this TLD I call on ICANN and ICM Regsitry to make these
documents
available for public scrutiny and public record before any vote is held.

These companies that are remaining anonymous do so for a very good reason;
they fear damage to their reputation and to their
business. This in itself should speak volumes to ICANN's board as to the
level of tangible support for this extention from the majority of the
adult entertainment industry.

Further to this, Stuart Lawley of ICM Registry has recently claimed to have
written support for this extention from over 1500 webmasters in over 70
countries. I again call
on ICM Regsitry and ICANN to make any such documents available for public
scrutiny in order for any such statement to be considered.


The board should deny this application without delay as this extention and
ICM Registry's application simply DOES NOT have any substantial or any
verifiable
level of support from the adult entertainment industry.
