As most of you probably are aware of, the threat called .XXX has been revived. The matter is not getting the response it deserves though, and people who fanatically protested last May now seem largely silent.

As far as I'm concerned, the adult industry is underrepresented when it comes to commenting on this issue, as is to be seen on ICANN's forum:

http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-icm-agreement/

Christian (and) parents' organisations have voiced their opinion (that is generally against the proposal), but the group that will arguably be affected most and most directly, adult webmasters, are surprisingly absent on the forum.

While their motivation is purely of a financial nature (think over $70 per registered domain), ICM presents their proposals as if they are doing a service to the adult webmaster community by introducing .XXX, and make it seem like they have your support (which is obviously not true). Adult webmasters need to make it clear to ICANN and the public that this extra extension is unwanted by them!
