• Best Business Practices to provide and promote confidence and certainty in .xxx domains
• More predictable revenue streams, greater customer retention and fewer complaints for adult entertainment suppliers
• A credible self-regulated forum for impacted stakeholders to discuss and develop policies relating to online adult entertainment


Right there, at number 1, tells the whole story, now doesn't it? Number 4 seems to slap us even harder, if the first punch in the gut wasn't enough?

I'm fuzzy on exactly what " Best Business Practices to provide and promote confidence and certainty in .xxx domains" means. Does this not sound like "no speak bullshit" to anyone besides me?


And exactly how does xxx do anything for: " More predictable revenue streams, greater customer retention and fewer complaints for adult entertainment suppliers?"

Why don't they just say "xxx will make us a ton of money, and we don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks, as long as we get it?"

It's as if they realize there are no benefits to anyone except themselves.

I revise my estimate from earlier....show me 10 REAL adult industry people that support this idea, and I'll but you a donut. (On Gonzo's Krispy Kreme account...want the number?)

The problem is those who had the means to show up there to speak to icann didnt. FSC saying the community is against this has no real meaning. The owners/ceo of the big players showing up and saying we are against this. I believe there would of been a different vote.
