dot-xxx

["Connie Vera" <cvera5@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please do not move forward with plans to create a dot-xxx.  I am concerned that 
the creation of dot-xxx will increase the amount of pornography available.  It 
will not protect the children from pornography but instead it will increase the 
risk of exposure.  Children in families who do not use filters to block such 
sites will be at an even greater risk of exposure than before.  I am concerned 
too, that the pornographers will not be required to abandon their dot-com web 
sites.
Creating a dot-xxx would lend legitimacy to an industry that regularly scoffs 
at the law.  It's like creating a free-market for postitutes to opperate more 
effectively.  Many internet sites currently violate state and federal laws 
already in place prohibiting the sale or distribution of hardcore pornography.  
Certainly those same sites will not adnere to regulations of a dot-xxx domain 
either.  There wouldn't even be the force of law behind any regulations you 
place there.
PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A DOT-XXX.
Sincerely, 
Constance Vera
