Wrong - we've got them and no one is doing anything with them.  I think
the .xxx or .sex people should do a bit more marketing.  If I have a
co-ordinated list of operational alternate TLD's once the next
phase of the dot.GOD beta test is underway - I would be pleased to
communicate the URL's to the dot.god beta testers.  I have no doubt those 
tld's will be of interest to them.

I partially agree with what you say here.  I don't agree with Senator
Joseph Lieberman that porno tld's are the way to go.

What family values groups need are "safe" tld's - where the registry
ensures that only good wholesome family values oriented firms are
registered.  I have advocated this poition for some time.

The key to controlling porn content is not to create porno tld's - but to
create safe use tld's where you restrict registrations and keep out the
porno people.  That's the way to do it right.
