I think it will be interesting.

Quote:

LOS ANGELES ? XBIZ is pleased to announce that it has slated a special .XXX debate session at XBIZ EU featuring ICM Registry CEO Stuart Lawley and Free Speech Coalition's Diane Duke.

The pair will discuss and debate issues relative to ICM's .XXX sponsored top-level domain and its upcoming Sept. 7 launch. The debate is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 23 at 5 p.m.

Lawley, who founded ICM, told XBIZ he plans on discussing the benefits of .XXX domain names, particularly since the debate will be held during the sunrise period when industry members can register their names.

"I am sure the discussion will be lively, and I look forward to making the benefits and new opportunities that .XXX presents crystal clear to the attendees," he said. "With the launch starting on Sept. 7, it is about time we got the chance to publicly debunk the myths and misunderstandings that, in some quarters, surround .XXX, that have been propagated by certain special interest groups leading to unnecessary confusion in the adult webmaster marketplace."

Duke, who leads the adult industry trade group as executive director, told XBIZ that she plans on setting the record straight about .XXX and informing adult businesses about their options now that .XXX domains are rolling out.

"I would like adult businesses to walk away with the understanding that they have options, that they don?t have to give in and throw money at ICM to protect their brand and that purchasing a .XXX TLD could actually do more harm to their business than good," she said.

From Sept. 23-25, XBIZ EU will bring together industry executives from international markets at London?s Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury hotel, for a slate of unparalleled business-networking and deal-making opportunities.

Attendees can also expect three days of cutting-edge educational seminars, engaging technology workshops, special guest keynote presentations designed especially for the European market.

I hope they film it.

everyone knows i am not a friend of the .xxx idea, but this is something i would like to know why that is..

i would prefer people would be sticking to pointing out the uselessness of .xxx and fake USPs that are used to sell .xxx instead of making up things that discredit any other critisism

I'm curious, are either of them being compensated in any way for this?

It just seems such a debate is a little late in the game and serves no purpose at all other than to up show attendance. Which is not a bad thing, but if it is the case, the suckers who fall for it may want to know.

considering that xbiz group profits from .xxx, what are they going to debate exactly? sounds more like an infomercial.

You really think you can still up show attendance with this debate since there must have been something like 12 such debates within the past 12 months...

Is providing such a debate at every single show that is out there productive or counter-productive?

What do you think?

Just curious.

Have those two had this debate at a show already? I know the topic has been debated but I'm not aware of the two of them. I could be wrong though, don't keep up on all the shows.
