Open Letter to ICM--My Personal Opinion!

In my First Amendment protected free speech personal opinion, I herewith think/feel that ICM should immediately and permanently:

1. Withdraw their ongoing .xxx submission to ICANN; instead, show a non-profit motive and a helpful concern for children by instead requesting that ICANN quickly approve .kids.

2. Publicly publish on this and other boards, with a copy to ICANN (and Department of Justice?), the names and organizations of any person(s) or entity which they have entered into either a formal or informal or verbal deal/arrangement/understanding/trade/etc concerning .xxx, and reveal the specific and detailed quid pro quid and financial and other aspects of the matter with each person/entity (If ICM agrees to immediatley and without reservation do Item 1 above, this paragraph might be mute?).

3. Provide a notarized letter to the Free Speech Coalition, with emailed and written copies to ICANN as well as this and other similar boards, that if .xxx is approved, ICM and it's personnel/partners/associates/"deal" individuals and entities/etc, whether already publically disclosed or "secret", as individuals as well as organizations and corporate structures, will guarantee, backed by a voluntary and totally unrestricted unlocking of the corporate lawsuit veil and an agreement that the personal assets of all individuals involved are volunteered and available in addition to corporate assets for any future civil lawsuit findings, and herewith agrees that:

a. All present "adult" .com domains and/or .com sites will be grand-fathered indefinitely and have sole and continuing extended total rights, to and from ICM and other/future registries, to register their same .com domain name/site as a .xxx at the pricing discussed in the below paragraph c.

b. Like the free spirit of American and business competition, other registries may also offer .xxx registrations at or below the same price that they now presently offer .com registrations.

c. Since and like present .com adult sites/domains are already "policed" by government authorities, ICM agrees to drop it's proposed oversight, monitoring of content, censorship, and other aspects now being used to justify registration prices for .xxx that exceed .com prices presently offered by other registries. ICM will pledge not to charge more than $10 per .xxx registration.

d. If any future legislation at any level of government in any country is passed that restricts .xxx in any way that .com is not presently affected, or if any ISP/3d Party Billing/etc non-government element imposes rules/regulations/restrictions/etc which in any way limit revenue or operations of .xxx domains/sites, ICM and it's "secret" associates as mentioned in Paragraph 2 above, will immediately become monetarily responsibe to cover all revenue losses and to refund .xxx registration fees, and to financially cover a buy-back of the former .com domain to replace the .xxx domain.

In my personal opinion, if ICM immediately does all of the above, people considering contact with their Senators and Representatives, the Department of Justice, the Department of Commerce, and other law enforcement and government agencies to seek a federal Court TRO against the ICANN decision while insisting upon the conduct of a full and complete Governmental investigation to insure that no criminal/conspiratorial/RICO/IRS/etc regulations or laws have been assailed by ICM or it's "secret" associates, should probably consider backing off; the same for non-U.S. folks affected adversely by .xxx if it is approved.

ICM, are you willing to quickly do the above?
