what i have posted recently in my thread about calling for questions, is that i will be asking the question that all webmasters want to know.. and i fully expect no answer will be given, and i will move on to my list of questions.
.XXX is not a done deal.. the battle right now is at a level above us.. it is not at the level of whether its .good vs .bad to have it, its about policies and how various countries are looking at it, beyond the perspective of webmasters of thinking its a method of mandatory corralling.
I do believe that many of the objections of .XXX by GAC has been resolved.
Did you read through all of the docs? I did last night, and if you weren't in the adult biz and affected by .XXX, it would read that issues were being addressed.
Canada's opposition to .XXX is a great indicator that there is discourse with ICANN and this TLD registration.
The battle is above us, and that battle is what will determine if .XXX gets approved.
In the meantime, understanding what .XXX is about, gives those who are going to be making the business decision to purchase .XXX domains, the information to atleast understand what they are buying into.
If you aren't going to buy .XXX domains, then all of this discussion is pointlesss, but there are alot of webmasters who are interested in buying .XXX domains, and with business, I don't believe ignorance is bliss.
Fight the .whatever!
PS. PA, could you hit me up on ICQ: 52741957

thanks for the reply and Im sorry for my Xbiz comment, that was a spontaneous post
personally I still think that your approach looks like "we can not do much more at this time, so let's assume the worst case and prepare for that".
In my opinion, that not only is not necessarly true (as I said at the beginning of my post there are chances ICANN will simply vote down or reject .xxx again) but I also think, that if ICANN approved .xxx now, then there could be an adult industry trade show focusing on such details like the specifics of registrations, the IFFOR's best business practices.
I mean, IMO, if at this time, ICANN can either approve or reject .xxx and the chances are 50:50% (in my opinion the chances are better for us, but you apparently think the opposite), then we should not assume yet that there will be an .xxx.
Should ICANN approve .xxx in two weeks, then at the next show, the ICM guys would be invited, to discuss all the specifics.
Its obvious that from the moment ICANN would approve .xxx to the moment until .xxx goes live, a good few months would be gone anyway - so that would be enough time to get informed properly about all the details.
Anyway, no point in debating it further. I was actually going to relax today and forget about .xxx (not open GFY for the next two days)
Not sure what you want to talk about on ICQ since Im not going to be at xbiz, neither do i have any insiders in ICANN (not sure if that is what my first post suggested). Personally I say whatever I tink about this issue here, but I'm open to an ICQ chat with you. Feel free to ICQ me whenever it best suits you - 171130893
