oppose .xxx domains....

["Mike M" <mm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the following reasons....

 

. . .that ICM is pushing unnecessarily for a "responsible" global online
community when the adult entertainment community already has an entity
through which Internet publishers and others can self-identify as a
responsible global online adult entertainment community through the Free
Speech Coalition and its Code of Ethics.

. . .with companies that have pre-registered .XXX domain names, but are
in opposition to a .XXX sTLD. By ICM's own definition those companies do
not qualify for a .XXX sTLD because they do not voluntarily agree to the
.XXX sTLD and thus believe that ICM's proposed .XXX sTLD would be
detrimental to their business.

. . .with the lack of transparency surrounding ICM's submissions in the
omission of the names of IFFOR Board members and Policy Council members
who will develop regulations for the .XXX online industry. 

. . .that adult businesses would be required to agree to comply with
"IFFOR Policies and Best Practices Guidelines" that have yet to be
created by boards and councils which have yet to be revealed.

. . .that information provided for public comment is insufficient.
Members of the adult entertainment community require more information
about the application in order to provide the appropriate level of
feedback to the ICANN Board for it to make an informed decision. 

. . .that if additional information is provided, the community most
impacted by .XXX, the adult online community will not have sufficient
time to respond and therefore request that the public comment period be
extended 30 days after additional information that has been requested
has been supplied.
