Fwd: Write Now to Stop XXX Domain on March 9th

["Marc Sterling @ Factory Video" <marc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To Whom t May Concern.

We would like to voice our opposition to creating a xxx domain. we support our 
partners in being against this proposal and urge you not to move forward. We 
believe the restrictions surrounding the proposal would cause irreparable harm 
to our business and industry.

thank you,
