I Oppose the .XXX Domain

[Richard Bertozzi <rjbertozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members of the Board of ICANN:

I am writing to urge you to kill the proposal of the .XXX domain. In
addition to strong opposition from both sides of the argument, this new
domain would only increase the amount of pornography available on the Web,
easing accessibility to hard core pornography to minors and adults alike.
Pornography is a widespread, ever-growing crisis, polluting the minds of its
viewers and negatively changing attitudes towards women and children. Please
do NOT participate in the destruction of marriages, the abuse of children,
and the demise of our culture.A more appropriate goal should be to STOP the
distribution of this destructive material by prosecuting those responsible
for it, not to protect pornography on the .XXX domain.

As a former foster parent for 30 years in 4 states, my wife and I saw first
hand the horrible abuse that can be inflicted upon young children by those
addicted to pornography. Again, please kill the proposal of the .XXX domain

Regards,

Dr. Richard J. Bertozzi
