The ICM and Lawley are promoting the .xxx tld as "an effective way to filter out inappropriate websites". This means that they have plans to lobby to make the use of .xxx mandatory for adult websites because filtering based on the tld can only be "effective" if all adult content on the whole internet is located on sites using .xxx domains.
You know, I know, every webmaster knows that enforcing something like that or even trying to enforce something like that is impossible and will only create problems for everyone involved. However, since we are dealing with politicians that have no clue whatsoever about the technology involved (US senators Max Baucus (D., Montana) and Mark Pryor (D., Arkansas) have already proposed creating a .xxx tld and making it mandatory) and the ICM (an organisation that is looking to make a profit at our expense) we have to take into consideration that something that may now seem to be very unlikely may one day become our worst nightmare.
