Red-Light & Green Space TLDs (Fact v. Fiction) |
Message: |
|
Let me begin by stating that I am the Interim Policy Officer for ICM Registry and
that I helped in drafting their policy. The fact that the .XXX & .KIDS TLDs as
set forth in ICM Registry's proposal are VOLUNTARY in nature undermines your argument
that ICM Registry is seeking to mandate/segregate adult content providers into a
specific TLD. Neither ICANN nor ICM Registry have the authority to mandate
such Orwellian actions. ICM Registry is merely seeking a renewable license to run
a chartered registry that will incorporate into the registrant license agreement
contractual terms by which the registrant must comply. If the registrant does not
wish to comply with those terms they are free to register with another generic TLD
or ccTLD. Period end of story. ICM Registry has been working with representatives
of the Adult Content Industry as well as child safety groups to find an industry
lead, market driven, non-regulatory solution to the problem of safeguarding children.
The purpose of the red-light and green-light districts are to provide sign posts
on the information superhighway to help categorize content, NOT segregate as your
posting implies. ICM Registry believes that it proposal meets the technical and
financial requirements as set forth by ICANN. Moreover, the governmental and regulatory
issues that you raise are clearly outside ICANN's technical oversight mandate and
should therefore not enter into their consideration.
