Hey ICAAN, are you paying attention to this?

Now ICM is generating false positive emails?

Here's a publicly posted comment sent in to ICAAN:


ICMREGISTRY COMMITING FRAUD

* To: <xxx-revised-icm-agreement@xxxxxxxxx>
* Subject: ICMREGISTRY COMMITING FRAUD
* From: "Douglas Ward" <zmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
* Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 23:16:14 -0400

Dear ICANN,



These ICMREGISTRY .XXX guys sent an unsolicited email to me and when I
clicked on the link inside,



<http://t.ymlp167.com/emjatambuadajmqbagayu/click.php> Click here to post a
comment to ICANN in support of .XXX



it automatically sent a positive comment to ICANN from me WITHOUT MY
APPROVAL. I thought I'd be directed to someplace I could post a comment, not
have one posted automatically.



I want this false comment withdrawn from record.



Here is the fraudsters page I was redirected to after the UNAPPROVED
submission on my behalf. http://www.icmregistry.com/forms/postcomment.php



.XXX is a money making scheme for the registry that owns it and nothing
more. .XXX is unnecessary and the registry is price gouging the adult
industry.



If this is how they are going to conduct their affairs with shady practices
this .XXX should be denied now and save ICANNs reputation while you can.



I HAVE ALL NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE .XXX SCAMMERS, no positive ones.

Also shows that if people don't actually start sending in comments then ICM will look like they do have significant support.

Someone that has their info should forward this to Dave Cummings or Diane. They are probably the two people that can/will get this in front of ICANN the fastest.

TisMe, I also recommend that YOU consider posting your above Comment 1 that started this thread to ICANN right away so they can be alert that others might also be in the same boat.

Comments can be submitted to [email protected] and viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-revised-icm-agreement/ .

GREAT! I just noticed that you HAVE already alerted ICANN -- thanks for doing that:-)! I wonder if others of us should post there asking for an investigation into what apparently happened to you!?

I'm glad I'm not of of those that ICM counts as a supporter--if I was someone offered (or accepted) a deal of any kind whatsoever (even a 5% discount on future .xxx domain registrations?), from anyone whomsoever, I think I would worry about future lawsuits by ICM or anyone adversely affect or concerned about .xxx uncovering my name during the "Discovery" phase of the preparation for civil trial---that might possibly get very bad business karma to happen to my business, and/or my reputation, and/or my moral-ethical standing among the REAL stakeholders?

Perhaps people/entities who merely reserved a .xxx domain for defensive purposes should post that fact to the ICANN forum for ICANN to take into account, and for all of us to see and applaud!?

What do YOU think the reaction will/should be to icm supporters, including those who might be "discovered" down the road?

ICANN hasn't been listening for years. As a host of more than 400 companies representing >50,000 adult websites, I can unequivocally state that none of my customer base wants .XXX. I've sent that in when comments were due in the past and logic would dictate that they would refer to all current and older feedback received if they actually care. Even the religious right doesn't want .XXX.

Brad, we need folks like you to post the above one more time to ICANN---you have a basis to be heard, and what you said above encompasses a LOT of stakeholders.

Please don't assume ICANN will take into account your past feedback; rather, please, please, please repost it again, and asap.

Thanks!

Dave

I am the guy that got this email and I went and complained to ICANN about it.
Did anybody else get one of these emails.

The link in the email did say "post a positive comment" or something, but I didn't think it would auto submit without my reading it. I thought I could also post a negative comment if I wanted too. I shoulda known better.

Maybe if a bunch of us informed ICANN, it would get their attention?
