Cambria and Irvine will join representatives from Microsoft, Google, AOL, Yahoo and AT&T at the invitation-only event.
The ICRA is an international nonprofit that works with private industry to develop a voluntary labeling system for online content. The goal, according to the organization, is to “avoid burdensome government regulation.”
Participants will discuss ideas for protecting children from viewing adult content online and on mobile devices, as well as the current legal landscape and the effectiveness of self-regulatory efforts.
“This is an excellent opportunity for the adult entertainment industry to interact with Internet industry leaders,” Cambria said. “We have a mutual interest here, including protecting children and limiting government regulation of content on the Internet.”
Cambria received his invitation from the organization after appearing on Jan. 19 as a witness before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Technology during a hearing on “Protecting Children on the Internet.”
Irvine has been in communication with the organization for around three years, and the ASACP has been recognized by the ICRA for its efforts to protect children online.
“They [ICRA] want our input,” Irvine told XBiz. “People in the mainstream really do want to work with the adult entertainment industry, especially because of the development of wireless, iPods and other convergent technologies.”
Irvine added that it helps companies like those taking part in the ICRA roundtable to feel comfortable working with the adult industry if they see adult companies are acting responsibly and taking proactive steps to keep children from accidentally viewing adult content.
