This is the best part of the statement:
"XXX would be dedicated exclusively to adult content and could be used by some states as a means to force all unwanted or illegal content to migrate to that sTLD that could then be easily monitored or filtered.
ICM?s plan also would require a set of ?best practices? to protect children online and fund the International Foundation for Online Responsibility, an independent organization ICM has said it would create if approved.
ICM pledges to donate $10 of the proposed annual fee of $60 for a .XXX domain name to child-protection groups and require users of .XXX to label their content. ICM said it hasn?t planned any volume discounts, but that it would ?listen to the community.?
So the United state government couldn't force adult sites to block access to minors be requiring a credit card as age verification. The supreme court has ruled that available filtering software is an adequate form of protection for those wishing to block adults sites, yet this guy somehow thinks he is going to get this industry to all willingly transfer every domain we own over to .xxx, label the content and follow some kid of "best practices" policy he is going to set up.
The guy is either completely out of touch with reality, or he is a brilliant bullshiter who has used this as a way to get his .xxx passed.
