The rules about whether porn has to go under .xxx would be ones enacted by local or federal governments, ICANN wouldn't have any jurisdiction in this regard.
from what you are saying it is implied that foreign affiliate webmasters have very little to fear from this whole .XXX issue as they will be affected only indirectly, they can still use their .com domains
