Warning - Fake forged e-mails

Dear ICANN,
It appears that several hundreds of automatic e-mails have been sent
from ICM Registry, apparently in support for .xxx
The suspecious e-mails are all titled: "Please approve the .XXX
Registry Agreement".
If we take a closer look at these e-mails we will see that:
a) The timestamps are all very close. Looks like automated software,
and not human activity.
b) Majority of the e-mail addresses used are built in the exact same
format with the personal name in front of the @. For example
johndoe@xxxxxxxxxx, smith@xxxxxxxxxx etc
In the real world there is more diversity in the email addresses, e.g.
info@xxxxxxxxxx, sales@xxxxxxxxxx, webmaster@xxxxxxxxxx,
somethingfunny@xxxxxxxxxx
It also doesn't make sense that so many supposed "supporters" of .xxx
all use personal e-mail addresses, and not business addresses. It is
uncommon in the adult entertainment industry to use the personal email
address for conducting business.
In comparison when you look at the e-mail addresses from adult
industry people who are against .xxx, you will notice that there is
much more variation in how the e-mail addresses look like.
I strongly urge you to have IT forensics examine the e-mails which
have been sent from ICM Registry to validate whether those emails are
in fact genuine, and not simply email accounts created for the purpose
of fooling ICANN.
Please reject the .xxx TLD - nobody wants it, except Stuart Lawley.
Thank you.
