Letter to ICANN from Homegrown Video, Xplor Media, and New Destiny Internet Group

["Farrell Timlake" <timlake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To ICANN,
 
I am opposed to the .XXX registry for a number of reasons and I hope you will 
decisively deny its creation. 
 
The creation of .xxx will not do any of the protective filtering that its 
proponants suggest unless it is done in a way that would have a profoundly 
chilling effect on free speach. From listening to panel presentations given by 
the executives behind .xxx it is clear that their motive is only truly for 
profit and not to "help protect kids" as some of them have claimed. The claims 
they make might impress someone that does not know anything about the internet, 
but anyone with a cursory knowledge of browsing and filtering knows that their 
claims are without base. The people behind .xxx are not from the adult 
industry, falsely claim that they are supporting it, and use threats to try and 
coerce the industry into accepting their efforts to create xxx.

 
As a company with an established brandname and trademark, I am not looking 
forward to the next wave of infringers. I will have to spend hard earned cash 
to protect our marks.
 
I have relations in other companies that were misled into early support for xxx 
which they have since rescinded. 
 
Please deny the creation of .xxx, it is unecessary, creates undue burdon, and 
is not being straightforwardly represented by its advocates.
 
Sincerely,
 
- Farrell Timlake

Farrell,

Could I please get you to write up an employee template letter to ICANN for 
everyone to send off?  If we can do this sooner than later that would be best 
I'd think.  Thanks so much!
