Hi there,

You can't pretend to regulate where sexual-related (wharever that means) has
to go.

The success of the Internet and technology is based on deregulation.

If this org (yours) is to be taken seriously you better forget about this
xxx domain, there is no need for it (there is no shoratage of sexual-related
.com domains at all), and the filtering reason simply wouldn't work at
all...

I will put sexual-related content wherever I want and mixed with other stuff
not directly related to sex if I want. No one can tell how these contents
have to be structured or where have to be placed, much less at a global
scale (as you pretend)... the 'g' on gtld-mou stands for global, isn't it?

People have already been using the .com domain for years, are they supposed
to trash the names they have been promoting and re-compite again for the new
.xxx names??? You must be joking.

The way to filterng is html meta tags. Goverment (the real one) can force
everybody mark their content as a convenience for users and society in
general, and this can work on a page by page basis instead of an all or
nothing proposition.

There is no need to go even further in _promoting_ porno in the net. The
porno is here and now, there is no need to build brand new iternational
non-profit organitzations for establishing new domains to facilitate access
to porno on the net, as if it weren't easy enough already...

More than filtering, the .xxx domain just would serve to spotlight porno on
the net, as if we need more of it!. We don't need another domain called
.xxx. It looks to me that you just want to get the attention of the people
and sell _sell_ your new unneeded domains and try to make some bucks in the
process, ok people want sex so here we go, do you want .xxx or would you
prefer .sex, as if we need yet another so-called non-profit organization for
this... maybe you should consider moving to the gtld-mou.com instead of
trying to fake people with .org...

So please don't try to sell new .xxx domains just to get the attention and
the money of the people..., and as I said the filtering reason sounds like a
stupid excuse to justify your greedy moves.

If you want to be taken seriously
Act seriously.
