Evening bump.....last week to submit comments.

Sunday's "gone to Church" bump.....

This needs to be a sticky...

Morning Bump

Besides me participating in the link that's at the opening page at www.freespeechcoalition.com , here's a copy/paste of the comments I submitted to ICANN:

"Most of the REAL Sponsored Community Wants .xxx DEFEATED
To: <xxx-revised-icm-agreement@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Most of the REAL Sponsored Community Wants .xxx DEFEATED
From: "Dave C." <davec@xxxxxxxxxx>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a REAL stakeholder, with over 10 years in the Sponsored Community! IMO,
ICANN needs to determine if ICM and all of the people it's motivated to
express support for .xxx are, in fact, REAL stakeholders. IMO, ICANN needs
to make certain that ICANN decides who meets stakeholder and sponsored
community status, and not be swayed by any ICM subjective
preferences/definitions/etc of it.

In my REAL stakeholder opinion, ICANN should permanently and totally deny
the ICM .xxx proposal. It seems to me that relatively few Adult Internet
people are in favor of it, while conversely, relatively MANY of the REAL
stakeholders support ICANN denial of the ICM proposed .xxx contract.

I understand that ICANN might possibly be feeling somewhat swayed due to
concern of an ICM lawsuit if .xxx isn't approved for ICM. IMO, ICANN might
indeed be involved in a multitude of lawsuits if .xxx ISN'T denied, and
those legal actions could be near-term, continuing, and long-term (e.g.,
if/when government "ghetto-ization" requires REAL STAKEHOLDERS to close
sites with .com and other presently recognized tlds, and instead use the ICM
.xxx tld; or, when continuing registry and other "issues/problems" come up,
etc---this could go on for years and years).

I worry that unless ICANN totally and permanently "kills" .xxx THIS time,
ICANN will become so overburdened in resolving matters related to .xxx that
ICANN might become unable to properly accomplish its other primary
priorities and responsibilities.

I understand that the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has brought many IMPORTANT
issues to ICANN in the last few weeks. IMO, ICANN needs to listen to FSC and
resolve all the matters AND requests that FSC has surfaced to ICANN. Like
many other REAL stakeholders in the Sponsored Community, FSC is the overall
voice for me. ICM does not speak for me (or MANY others of the REAL
stakeholders!).

Morning Bump

Time to post (I wonder if those in our Industry who don't post against .xxx are secretly associated with icm????? If so, ?????????????????????????????) .

Send your email now to [email protected] and let them know that you are against .xxx

So, who are the people and/or entities aligned with icm? Should we be upset with them?

Evening Bump

Bump a roo :thumbsup

Get your comments in!

The ability to express YOUR opinion ends in just 90 minutes when ICANN closes it's comments site:-(

There are 3 1/2 new pages of "Please approve the .XXX Registry Agreement" comments at http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-revised-icm-agreement. Hopefully ICANN can see through ICM's bullshit.

I was just there and saw that bullshit. I have never heard of any of those people.

wow, they added that spam in the very last moment

And somehow even backdated their mails. Their spam extends well into previous days' mail archives.

This looks like a crime.

Another question that has me scratching my head: if the sponsored community support question is a "settled issue," as Stuart Lawley and ICM have proclaimed it to be, then why did they solicit expressions of support from the people who had pre-registered .XXX domain names?

I don't see much room for ambiguity here; either the community support issue has been settled, or it has not.

If it has been settled, then why would the side that it was settled in favor of appear so keen to continue the conversation by submitting additional statements on the subject?

If it has not been settled, then it is the very definition of disingenuous to declare the issue dead on the one hand, while continuing to solicit statements of support on the other.

Is this an example of the sort of "responsibility" we can expect IFFOR to endorse, should .XXX become reality?

people dont have much time left from what i am hearing

No doubt! I was going to bring that up this morning, but got tied up all day. The same titles are a bit suspicious and should be looked into and/or deleted.

You can bet Diane and her crew are on it.....would not doubt it if some of the individuals to benefit from .XXX are behind this.....:disgust
