To whom it may concern:
I am an adult webmaster working in the adult online business. I am also a veteran of the USAF and a decorated E-5 Non Commissioned Officer. I was a Police Officer for 5 years from 1988-1993. To believe that a TLD itself will protect children and keep them safe is to be naïve and tunnel-visioned in our perception of what .XXX is designed to do, which is make a few people a lot of money at the expense of others. I strongly oppose .XXX as a method for preventing children from seeing adult materials online. The originator of this proposal is clearly motivated by money and the adult internet rejects his principals.
The .XXX TLD will not prevent children from seeing pornography on the Internet. The .XXX TLD will not prevent children from being preyed upon and abused by Internet predators. I don?t see Dateline with Chris Hansen talking about pornographic websites as a catalyst to those sick people that they snare on their ?To Catch A Predator? show. The .XXX TLD will not stop pornographic unsolicited emails (SPAM). What .XXX will do is line the pockets of the proposals creator, nothing more. The proposals creator cares not of children.
.XXX will not make it any harder for children to access adult materials. Regardless of filtering or whatever other mechanisms we think that we can apply to a domain extension, nothing will work. What works is parents being responsible for their children by being aware of what they are doing. By proposing and enacting .KIDS, software may be installed that will only allow .KIDS domains to resolve. .COM will always have some sort of pornographic affiliated with it. There are renegades all over the world that really don?t care what TLDs we use. The only course of action is to hold parents accountable and provide them a tool (.KIDS) so they may allow only those .KIDS domains to resolve in their homes. If ICM/IFFOR care about children, they would be spending their time trying to get the .KIDS TLD passed. Please, help us all protect our children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren by working towards a .KIDS TLD. Thank you for your consideration.
I?m not going to get longwinded on you as I am sure you have 1000?s of these to read. .XXX is a bad idea, designed by mere financial opportunists that recognized a potential opportunity. Lets not play their game, but instead do something that really will protect the countries children, and those around the world should other countries decide to follow in the path that is created by pushing through a .KIDS TLD.
Thank you

You still have time to get your comments in. I don't care how many people have ICQ'd me to tell me that we have lost the battle. That's bullshit. This is far from over. Now is the time to get stronger, not give up.
