Subject: .fam provided by .xxx -- Bad Idea.

Message:

It is true that .fam is needed. However, the only company to apply for this TLD is Abacus America who also happens to be one of the companies who applied for the .xxx TLD. I hope that ICANN takes their responsibility seriously enough to see that a company who wants to own/support the .xxx TLD should not be given the TLD that will target families. It would be a discrace to award the .fam TLD to Abacus (regardless of whether of not they get the .xxx TLD), and I hope that ICANN waits to award it to a company that is honestly interested to the providing a quality service to families.
