<strong>YNOT</strong> – Free Speech Coalition Executive Director Diane Duke will discuss the proposed dot-xxx sponsored Top-Level Domain during a seminar scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. Saturday as part of The AVN Show. The adult entertainment industry trade show will occur Aug. 5-8 in Hollywood, Fla.
Titled “Dot-xxx: A Broad-Based Perspective from Industry Leaders,” the panel includes Duke, Hustler President Michael Klein, Private Media Group’s Andrew Sullivan, BurningAngel.com founder Joanna Angel and MiKandi Chief Software Architect Christopher O’Connell. The panel will be moderated by Wasteland.com founder Colin Rowntree.
“I appreciate AVN giving us the forum to discuss this important issue,” Duke said. “Dot-xxx is one of the most important issues facing the industry, and it’s important that adult industry professionals understand what is at stake. This also is an opportunity for industry members to express their opposition to the dot-xxx ‘sponsored’ domain.”
Topics panel members expect to be discuss include an overview of dot-xxx components, the potential impact of the proposed sTLD on the industry, the next steps in the process and pre-registration of dot-xxx domains. In addition, panelists plan to address their understanding of the claims registrar-hopeful ICM Registry has presented to the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, ICM’s promises to protect children from online adult material and to protect the dot-xxx space from unwarranted censorship, and the composition and authority of the Internet Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR) regulatory board ICM plans to establish to oversee ethical behavior of domains within dot-xxx.
