Deny .XXX sTLD

["Shawn Miner" <shawn.miner@xxxxxxxx>]

As an affiliate program for the adult entertainment industry, my
business' foundation is internet based.  If ICM's application were
granted and a .XXX sTLD were to be created it would negatively impact my
business.  Also it would put ICANN in the position of  creating an
entity to impose regulations and policy for the adult entertainment
community-a situation that could easily stifle what is now a robust
adult entertainment internet presence.

 

I do not support the creation of a .XXX sTLD and believe that the ICANN
Board was well within its rights to deny ICM's application in the 2007
Board meeting in Lisbon.

 

It is imperative that ICANN consider the widespread opposition from the
adult entertainment community to a .XXX sTLD as it makes its decision.
For that reason, I support Option # 3 of the March 26, 2010 process
options submitted by ICANN for public comment.
