I oppose the .XXX tld

[Grandma Scrotum <grandmascrotum@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this could be the fourth time I have written an email stating my 
opposition to the idea of the .xxx tld over the last decade. I hope you take 
all 
the previous correspondence into account as many webmasters are tired of 
repeating ourselves.

The .xxx tld is simply a license for ICM Registry to make money. They do not 
represent the opinion of the majority of adult webmasters who oppose the idea. 
In essence, .xxx will give governments an excuse for censorship. I'm Australian 
and some politicians here have already suggested that the .xxx will be easily 
added to the proposed mandatory internet filter. Naturally I oppose censorship 
of adult material.

The .xxx tld will not stop children from accessing adult material. Only 
parental 
supervision and education can deal with that issue.

ICM Registry have not determined what constitutes "adult material" and it is 
notoriously difficult to define or police.

As an adult webmaster, I reluctantly added my name to the pre-registration list 
at ICM Registry when it seemed like the .xxx tld might go ahead. I only did 
this 
as a way of trying to secure my intellectual property, in an effort to prevent 
squatters from obtaining the main domains I use. If .xxx did go ahead, I'd be 
forced to buy these domains at an inflated price but I would not put anything 
on 
them, except perhaps a redirect to my main .com domains. I have no intention of 
using .xxx beyond trying to prevent squatting. I'd rather not have to do this 
at 
all.

So, I'm saying it again: please do not approve .xxx
