I oppose .XXX TLD

[awysocki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I would like to be on record of opposing a .XXX top level domain name. 

I think a better solution would be to create a .KID domain for web sites 
where ages up to 17 year old can go and hang out.  I work in the adult 
industry and putting all the adult sites into one TLD is not the answer.

Some questions that need to be asked and answered.

1 - If a .XXX TLD is created what is considered to be an .XXX site.  Is it 
nudity.  Will art studios that have male/female nude photos be required to 
move to .XXX, if a web site only allows full frontal nudity but no sexual 
act photos will they be required to move to .XXX, will libraries that 
carry "Playboy" magazine will required to move to .XXX

2 - Creating a .XXX ghettoizes one industry,  Why not create a .STEEL, for 
the steel industry, .SOFTWARE for software, .FOOD for food stores?  What 
problem is being solving by creating this domain.  Underage people will 
now be able to find adult sites easier.  Why not solve the problem of age 
verification on the web, instead of rounding up an industry and putting 
them in a camp.

3 - Will the issue of Trade Marks that have been made to all the .COM .NET 
or other TLD that have been paid for and the thousands of dollars spent on 
those protections be refunded so that the move to .XXX can be made.  The 
cost of the TLD along with the cost of registering company names with city 
& state governments, bank accounts, trademarks and office supply is 
unfairly being added to a set of companies that have done nothing wrong.

4 - The ability of governments to censor .XXX domains.
