Dear ICANN Board of Directors,
Thank-you for an opportunity to express my concerns about the establishment of 
a .XXX Domain for ICM.  In my opinion, such a domain will negatively affect our 
lives in several ways.  
 
One way is that the establishment of  a .XXX Domain will lead to further 
exploitation of children, who do not make such decisions for themselves, to 
be part of sexually explicit materials in the name of entertainment. More and 
more youth and young adults will be solicited for the increased production and 
world-wide distribution of pornographic materials.  Far too many such 
materials will become even more readily available than ever before.  
 
Next, a .XXX Domain will only add to the ever-increasing barage of materials 
and images in the public domain.  The public is already saturated with 
images that further strain the usual boundaries of what the vast majority of us 
and your Board Members try to judge as appropriate or inappropriate 
entertainment or educational for yourselves, for us, and for all of our 
children.    
 
The Board of ICANN has a unique opportunity to make decisions which affect 
your families and everybody else's family.  The general public depends upon 
your making decisions which 
support and enhance yours and our abilities to raise our children to 
be responsible leaders.  We all need a safer Internet more than ever. Voting 
"No" on a .XXX Domain will eliminate another barrier and stumbling block for 
all so we can meet our goals.
 
Thank-you,
