the problems i have are
1. it is the first step in forcing u.s. adult sites onto .xxx, which has been discussed in the past.
2. it is being offered as a way to protect children, but in reality does not offer any protection other than filtering, which we already have.
3. domains are more expensive - much.
4. it is actually against ICANN charter to have a TLD without a reason. .xxx is simply a way to make money for the organization selling the domains but it is being dressed up as a way to protect children or set porn sites apart from other sites. ICANN's own rules say this is not enough. if they break this rule, we'll start having specific domains for things that shouldn't have TLDs - religions, etc.
