.XXX is .DEAD
I was at phoenix forum when i heard the news at 2:30am that ICANN voted 9-5 (and 1 abstained) in rejection of .XXX
It was a happy moment to resolve years of dealing with this issue, but my post here is not one of a contratulatory posting, but as a reminder, that when important issues come up, every webmaster needs to step up.
It was the last minute push about proving the point about "sponsored community" that was a very strong argument in the eyes of the ICANN board members.
The next big thing that comes through when people like me start ringing the bells, please come sooner, please come in larger numbers... because .XXX has proven how an issue can divide an industry, when all will suffer the consequences of actions or inactions.
Fight the 1 if by sea!
