What I gathered from the board meeting, members were voting based on the their moral and national interpretation. <FONT COLOR="#800000">For the record this was not the case, but you are entitled to your opinion.<BR>

Thanks.<BR>

Regulation of contents operated by TLD xxx will naturally be taken over and controlled by various sovereign nation government as the see fit with in their boarders. ICAAN should not be acting as the Internet´s moral high priest and policeman/woman for adult content. What I gathered from the board meeting, members were voting based on the their moral and national interpretation. <BR>

<BR>
Its in my opinion that, since the debate will not receive the full<BR>
support of the global community, why not move the debate to the ccTLD <BR>
level. For instance the board proposes that the xxx be a ccTLD issue not<BR>
a new TLD issue. In this case based on review country by country, then<BR>
it will be upon each cc's to choose to have a .xxx.cc sTLD as opposed to <BR>
the global community's and ICANN board to decide on having a .xxx TLD.<BR>
<BR>
Those countries that approve of a .xxx.cc sTLD and are an open registry,<BR>
they will probably accommodate the adult content web-masters who are <BR>
seeking a formal name space slot.<BR>
<BR>
This in my opinion will address the issue of the domain at a national<BR>
level and take away the debate from the Global arena - since as varied<BR>
as the world is - the .xxx may not receive the desired global consensus <BR>
for approval.<BR>
<BR>
