.XXX is bad for business. Bad for webmasters, bad for adult entertainment 
industry, bad for internet, bad for consumers & will do NOTHING to protect 
children.

   You are crazy if you think a new tld like XXX is going to prevent children 
from accessing content.  There are already filters in place to prevent children 
from accessing adult content & they work just fine.

  XXX is just going to make it EASIER for children to access porn.

Think about it.. What's to stop a mischevious boy from typing anything in his 
browser with XXX as the extension?

  Have you even given any thought to how this is going to impact business' 
trademarks?  I own many trademarks, all of which include the dot com.  Do you 
intend on replacing the millions of dollars this has cost me.  Do you plan on 
paying for new trademark registrations for those forced to relocate to .xxx?
 Do you intend to compensate people for loss of traffic, revenue, advertising, 
etc, because YOU forced them to relocate from dot com to dot xxx.

  Be prepared.. it's in the grapevine that Icann is subject to huge class 
action lawsuit if this passes.

  If you want to protect children, then you can start by stopping the lies.  
You tell people dot xxx is to protect children only to get favorable opinion 
from the religious right wing.
