?My name is Greg Dumas and I represent PanaNames, which is the only ICANN accredited registrar in the country of Panama, next in Colombia, which is a great place and I highly encourage everyone to attend that conference.
?But we also host a lot of adult domains and I personally have been in the adult industry since 1994 in various capacities. And I would like to say that I'm also a former board member of the FSC and a strong supporter of the FSC, and I'd like to say that there is support in the community?it is a hot topic and a lot of people are talking about it?and there is a lot of quiet support for it and a lot of people?unlike myself, who is standing up here with a microphone in front of them?who don't really want to talk about it too much because they're afraid of a little bit of a backlash that could come because a lot of the people who are against it are their customers, and that's important to understand.
?But there is support for it. Heck, I support it and I'm from the adult industry and my clients who own some of the larger domains, or more popular domains in the industry, also support it. They're not afraid of possibly losing value of their domains that they've invested a lot of money in, whether it's developed domains or whatever it is, and I'd like to just go on record as saying that there is support and I think it would be a good thing to have, and especially nowadays. So that's all I wanted to say.
?Again, I'm here representing PanaNames, and not the adult industry. Thank you.?
