posted this in another thread, but knowing GFY, noone will read it there, so let me repost it in a new thread:

thats a good question
I've found a link where a former journalist, and new ICANN board member tries to convince everyone that the porn inustry supports .xxx"

As for the porn industry. The porn industry was doing what it always does in these situations - watch carefully and turn with the tide.
In fact, ICM Registry had a lot of people - perhaps it?s fair to say, most people in the adult industry agreeing with .xxx. It was only at the very end when the case started turning against .xxx because of US lobby pressure that Flynt decided to come down against it.
Flynt?s letter was then seized on by ICANN to help distract attention away from the US government?s hand in rejecting the TLD even after ICANN had approved it.

The above is obviously COMPLETE BULLSHIT..... you may look up more posts by Kieren McCarthy on that page if interested...
Anyway, personally I think I can't be the only one fighting this shit.
I can increase awarness on GFY, and I can send my letters - that's all.
Im not an adult industry player, neither do I know them on a personal level.
I'm not in the position to tell them how to act now.
PS... Further on that page Kierren claims that ICM guys are straightforward and if someone asked them for the list of "adult industry players" supporting .xxx, they would give it to him..
so .... will anyone ask them?
if not, and if all the ICANN board members think like that guy that the situation is completely ridicolous - 90% of adult webmasters are against .xxx and several people at ICANN think that the adult industry still supports .xxx
