FACT: the adult industry does NOT want the .xxx domain

["Gregory Wachowiak" <gwachowiak@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sir / Madam,


As it has been previously mentioned, the online adult industry does NOT want
the .xxx domain name.
This is a completely money driven initiative of two businessmen who hope to
land a permanent multi-million dollar deal from this.

I can assure you no porn company will voluntarly move to .xxx, therefore
making the .xxx domain name useless.

Yes, some domain names will be registered by speculators, or to protect a
company's trademarks.
Both the large companies like Playboy and some of the smaller adult websites
as well, will register their .xxx equivalents, so that noone else does it.

Please also don't get fooled by the "huge amounts" of .xxx-preregistrations
that ICM claims to have received.

Those preregistrations come from:

1. companies that are already worried about someone hijacking their
trademarked names (see above)
2. domain name speculators outside the adult community
3. a few selected individuals from the online adult industry, who - being
aware that noone in the adult industry wants the .xxx domains - have seen a
chance for themselves to pre(register) the best names hoping that if .xxx
gets established, they will be worth tens of thousands dollars.

If an asteroid was going to hit Earth in 5 years from now, some people would
still want to make money from it.
Please don't get fooled by them -  THE MAJORITY OF THE ONLINE ADULT INDUSTRY
DOES NOT WANT THE .XXX DOMAIN NAME.


I seriously hope ICANN will reject this proposal once and forever.

sincerely,

Greg Wachowiak
