    I'm the moderator of the .XXX panel at xbiz. post your .xxx questions in here

    Just released: http://www.xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=19457

    "HOLLYWOOD, Calif. ? Brandon "Fight the Patent" Shalton, founder of T3 Report, has been chosen to moderate the .XXX seminar at next week's XBIZ Hollywood Conference, being held Wednesday and Thursday at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel."


    I will be presenting questions to the panel about .XXX in addition to audience participation.

    If you are not attending the show, feel free to post up your questions/concerns here or email me at brandon -at- fightthepatent.com so i can compile the questions.

    Questions like "which industry players are supporting .XXX?" are not the kinds of questions that will get asked and answered.

    This is an opportunity to ask questions about the .XXX registration process, what impact it has on the industry, what .XXX can do, what .XXX can't do, who gets first shot at domains, etc.

    I've got 2+ years worth of questions in my mind to ask as well as other people's questions.


    Fight the 2 cents!

          1. Why is it that ICM Registry continues to pursue the TLD when its very clear that nobody wants it?

          2. Wouldn't it make more sense to set aside a safe place for kids on the internet as oppossed to trying to make the internet safe for kids? A .kid domain would easily accomplish this?

          3. Why exactly are these domains being sold at such a high price. who is getting the "donations" , administrative fees etc. What is the breakdown? (assuming they refer to them)

          4. Who is going to make up this IFFOR Board and how are those people chosen, who will draft the rules etc.

          5. Do you anticipate legal hurdles from the US Department of Commerce or Department of Justice?

          6. If I own domain.com ans someone else owns domain.net who gets first shot at domain.xxx?

          theres a few off the top of my head......

                  Those are the ones that popped into my head.

                  But, I think we know the answers to 1, 2 and 3:
                  1) greed
                  2) not enough money in it (greed)
                  3) greed

                      Copied from my post on the other side:

                      "When blood-suckers like you go to sleep in their fiendish coffins at night, is it actually necessary for some purpose that you sleep in such a contraption, or is this solely an invention of Hollywood?"

                      "Why didn't your mother have an abortion? Assuming she regrets this now, do you have any concerns she'll attempt a one-hundred fortieth trimester abortion, post-birthing?"

                      "Would you sell you grandmother into slavery for a nickel? Or, rather, did you already?"

                      "Did you begin the quest for .XXX because you have a small penis? Assuming so, if the industry pitched in for an operation, will you go away?"


                      And my final question:

                      "Since this panel has been convened based on the preconception that .XXX is to pass, it's probably fair to also assume that, if passed, legislation will soon follow that forces U.S. adult webmasters onto the TLD. In some cases, webmasters invested tens of thousands of dollars building traffic and brand to their dot-com properties. Even excluding the impact to the brand directly, these webmasters will lose the benefits of money spent on search engine optimization, advertising, link placements, and a host of other expenditures. Many sponsor programs will never convert all of their affiliate links from .com to .XXX.

                      What do you say to those who stand to lose a large sum based on your irresponsibility and thinly veiled greed?"

                                  .XXX domains require a verification of an email address before the domain can be approved. (http://www.icann.org/tlds/stld-apps-19mar04/xxx.htm section E)

                                  What will be the WHOIS policy for .XXX domains?

                                  Will there be privacy options with the registry?

                                      There is an issue where that topic is clearly of commercial interest since webmasters may elect to terminate dealing with these alleged "industry players" for obvious reasons.

                                          Because it's a fucking conspiracy. The same guys who faked 9/11 are behind it.

                                              It is? I never knew that...

                                              Meanwhile... can you volunteer a valid commerical reason why it should not be asked Brandon? Transparency is healthy...

                                                                  What you're doing is crying about questions that can't be asked because you're not going. Go to the show, you can ask what you want. Don't go to the show, don't bitch about what gets asked and what doesn't.

                                                                  This is like the people that cry that the welfare line is too long. Don't be a fucking scumbag freeloader.

                                                                  I had some measure of respect for you previously, but the more you poke and prod and make a fool of yourself, the less I seem to want to associate with you.

                                                                  You're becoming a joke, and it's sad to see, because you seemed to intelligent. if you REALLY can't figure your question out for yourself, I feel bad for you. If you CAN, which I suspect, don't pull a baddog and ask a question you know the answer to just for the sake of being a dick. No offense, baddog.

                                                                                              "Since this panel has been convened based on the preconception that .XXX is to pass, it's probably fair to also assume that, if passed, legislation will soon follow that forces U.S. adult webmasters onto the TLD. In some cases, webmasters invested tens of thousands of dollars building traffic and brand to their dot-com properties. Even excluding the impact to the brand directly, these webmasters will lose the benefits of money spent on search engine optimization, advertising, link placements, and a host of other expenditures. Many sponsor programs will never convert all of their affiliate links from .com to .XXX.

                                                                                              What do you say to those who stand to lose a large sum based on your irresponsibility and thinly veiled greed?"

                                                                                                                                              There is an issue where that topic is clearly of commercial interest since webmasters may elect to terminate dealing with these alleged "industry players" for obvious reasons.

                                                                                                                                              because it is an obvious question that won't get answered.

                                                                                                                                              all correspondance to ICANN is published on their website with the exception of the letters of endorsement by industry players. and those that did give their support in secret, obviously were concerned about some retailiation measures, otherwise they should have held their ground as mike south had said, if you support .xxx then stand up to it.

                                                                                                                                              There are alot more issues to have transparency on concerning the rules and policies of .XXX which have been quite mirky to date.

                                                                                                                                                  transparency is healthy when it comes to public policy, but for a private company, some of their inside business issues are not revealed.

                                                                                                                                                  You can ask lawley what his sexual preference is while at it, but that doesn't do anything towards understanding the ramifications of a .XXX

                                                                                                                                                  If there was a list of those involved, would it matter about .xxx?

                                                                                                                                                  NO, what would happen is people would make talk about boycotting those companies, cutting of traffic deals in some kind of retaliation for which doesn't address the .XXX issues.

                                                                                                                                                  I am not defending those that sold out the industry, i am just being practical for the scope of the panel discussion to understand what is the impact of .XXX

                                                                                                                                                  We all have our minds made up either for or against the idea of .XXX, the panel is not a debate nor will it change many minds.

                                                                                                                                                  The point is if/when ICANN approves it, better to know what it means to have or not have a .XXX then continue with speculation (which i admit i have done my fair share of).

                                                                                                                                                      Since .XXX is the only content-based TLD there is, will there be a requirement to prove 2257 documentation? (recent domain registar and isp asking for 2257 documents of a website are showing some precedent for this)


                                                                                                                                                      Are certain domain names going to be off limits like FamilyResearchCouncil.xxx ?
                                                                                                                                                      or Christians.xxx or muslims.xxx or buddhalovers.xxx ?

                                                                                                                                                      How are the board seats elected? How is the 1 or 2 seats for adult selected?

                                                                                                                                                      For those purchasing a .XXX domain, will they be allowed to just park the domain and not use it? Will a TOS be that it has to be live and operational?

                                                                                                                                                      Who gets to register the .XXX domain, if there are similar domains with current different extensions (ie. .com, .net. .co.uk, .jp, etc)

                                                                                                                                                      $10/domain goes to IFFOR which will then give grants to child protection organizations. Will organizations that are known to be against porn, but of child protection missions be receiving .XXX money?

                                                                                                                                                      What will prevent a rate increase on the subsequent years?

You say this can be good for the adult industry? Then please share with us the companies and individuals that have given their support? When he declines,then ask if its a good thing why all the secrets?

                                                                                                                                                                      That is a perfectly good question, and one that keeps being avoided. I want to know who I will continue to do business with and who I won't. Like with Zango, I won't do business with companies who support it. So, this should be the first questions that is answered so everyone can get on with the other questions. Of course they people in this industry are the biggest group of pussies I have ever seen in my life, hence the fact that this question will not be answered.

                                                                                                                                                                      According to those who are involved in the show, and the tone of your post, we are all supposed act as if it will pass and find a way to make a smooth transition into it. Roll over and take our ass fucking while they talk us through it. Well, that sounds like it's a done deal to me and they simply want to present us with the illusion that we have a voice. Why don't they just print it all up nice and neat and mail it to us. Spare us the bullshit.

                                                                                                                                                                      We all know the hard hitting questions will not be answered. Questions like "Who exactly is supporting .XXX?" and "What organizations made deals to profit from .XXX, and how much will they make per domain?" Will never get an answer.

                                                                                                                                                                          How will .XXX help prevent children for accessing online porn, when in fact .KIDS would do a much better job in doing so if computers were set to only allow .KIDS domains to be accessed?

                                                                                                                                                                          Would it not be easier for a child to sit down and just type ANYTHING.XXX and find porn?

                                                                                                                                                                          Doesn't .XXX put the adult industry in harms way for future problems in the event any one group or government wants to censor, shut down, tax, or use it to force us from our .COM domains? Though .KIDS would not do this and completely protect the children.

                                                                                                                                                                          So why would you NOT want to protect the children AND our industry at the same time?

                                                                                                                                                                                  "Since this panel has been convened based on the preconception that .XXX is to pass, it's probably fair to also assume that, if passed, legislation will soon follow that forces U.S. adult webmasters onto the TLD. In some cases, webmasters invested tens of thousands of dollars building traffic and brand to their dot-com properties. Even excluding the impact to the brand directly, these webmasters will lose the benefits of money spent on search engine optimization, advertising, link placements, and a host of other expenditures. Many sponsor programs will never convert all of their affiliate links from .com to .XXX.
