2. Creation of gTLD Indicating Adult-Oriented Content

There is often the suggestion made that a dedicated gTLD indicating the
equivalent to a "red-light-zone" would be useful in isolating and filtering
adult-oriented content from minors on the Internet. There are differing
opinions on how effective this would be. The most common suggestion is the
request to create a gTLD .xxx. Do you think that a sort of "red-light-zone"
gTLD should be created?

strongly approve

If you strongly approve or approve, do you think this should be the gTLD
.xxx? yes
