an .xxx tld makes having those current laws that apply to where adult businesses can be located a very easy transition to apply to the internet.
Someone else was talking about .org domains and forcing those to be for charity only, that is like apples and oranges.. there are not large groups of radical people to be a motivational factor like there are groups against porn.
anyone who does not believe .xxx tld is one step towards censorship and potentially forcing porn sites to a redlight district (.xxx) is simply naive.
I agree...
I made mine a little different so it would stand out..
When I see all of those "Please approve the .XXX Registry Agreement" you can tell they were all form letter shit from icmregistry.com/forms And I guarantee 99% of those submissions are complete bullshit made by people not even in the adult industry..
What is the average time for the verification email that you guys have been getting? (I know there was a lag the last few times this crap came up...) I sent my opposition to this like 40 min ago and still no confirmation link...

It took almost an hour last weekend when I submitted my below comment:
------------------------------------------
"I am a REAL stakeholder, with over 10 years in the Sponsored Community! IMO, ICANN needs to determine if ICM and all of the people it's motivated to express support for .xxx are, in fact, REAL stakeholders. IMO, ICANN needs to make certain that ICANN decides who meets stakeholder and sponsored community status, and not be swayed by any ICM subjective preferences/definitions/etc of it.
In my REAL stakeholder opinion, ICANN should permanently and totally deny the ICM .xxx proposal. It seems to me that relatively few Adult Internet people are in favor of it, while conversely, relatively MANY of the REAL stakeholders support ICANN denial of the ICM proposed .xxx contract.
I understand that ICANN might possibly be feeling somewhat swayed due to concern of an ICM lawsuit if .xxx isn't approved for ICM. IMO, ICANN might indeed be involved in a multitude of lawsuits if .xxx ISN'T denied, and those legal actions could be near-term, continuing, and long-term (e.g., if/when government "ghetto-ization" requires REAL STAKEHOLDERS to close sites with .com and other presently recognized tlds, and instead use the ICM .xxx tld; or, when continuing registry and other "issues/problems" come up, etc---this could go on for years and years).
I worry that unless ICANN totally and permanently "kills" .xxx THIS time, ICANN will become so overburdened in resolving matters related to .xxx that ICANN might become unable to properly accomplish its other primary priorities and responsibilities.
I understand that the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has brought many IMPORTANT issues to ICANN in the last few weeks. IMO, ICANN needs to listen to FSC and resolve all the matters AND requests that FSC has surfaced to ICANN. Like many other REAL stakeholders in the Sponsored Community, FSC is the overall voice for me. ICM does not speak for me (or MANY others of the REAL stakeholders!).
