FSC member / stakeholder strongly AGAINST .xxx stld

["NoReply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a Free Speech Coalition member and stakeholder in the adult entertainment 
industry with numerous websites, we are strongly AGAINST approval of the .xxx 
stld. We request that the ICANN Board of Directors act in our best interests 
and that of the adult entertainment industry by terminating all current and 
future negotiations with ICM registry for .xxx and deny their .xxx application.

It is absurd that ICM has proposed that adult businesses comply with IFFOR 
rules which don't currently exist. We consider both ICM and IFFOR to be adult 
industry outsiders and strongly believe that they have absolutely no rights to 
recommend, create or establish any policies for our industry. We, along with 
other responsible members of the adult entertainment community, support our 
industry's own organizations such as the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and the 
Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) and abide by our 
industry's own Code of Ethics. Wrongfully empowering ICM with such authority 
would be the equivalent of signing over a blank power of attorney to someone 
who is neither our family nor friend, granting them abilities that could cause 
irreparable harm to our business.

In the event that the ICANN Board chooses to extend review of the .XXX 
application, we demand more information and greater transparency from ICM 
regarding their application, so that we and other adult industry stakeholders 
may properly respond.

In closing, we reiterate that ICM does NOT have adult industry support as it 
claims and we are strongly AGAINST approval of the .xxx stld. Please deny ICM's 
.xxx application.

Sincerely,
Men's Fantasies Inc.
