The reasons ICM is still fighting for this .XXX TLD:
- they have spent over $4M already, and with potential revenues reaching $100M+ per year in registrations, wouldn't you keep pushing?
- the new Chairman of the Board for ICANN, supported .XXX when he was a board member. There are new board members now, so they might be sympathetic to arguments
- Lawley believes he has found the 'smoking gun' from their FOIA requests the Dept. of Commerce played a heavy hand
- They still content that they have support of the adult community from tens of thousands of adult webmasters who emailed them (yeah right), over a dozen letters of endorsements from large adult "leaders", and the stunt they pulled to "pre-register" .xxx when ICANN told them not to do it, that they now claim 100,000 pre-registered domains have been received, thus proving they have the adult community defined.
Fight the .$$$!
