GAC was against .XXX, if I recall correctly... and I seem to recall ICANN told them to get bent and allowed .XXX anyway. So I'm not sure what power GAC has at the end of the day. I believe that if ICANN wants the money, they'll take it -- UNLESS there are LEGAL reasons why they have to behave.
And notice in that judge's comment, he seems convinced ICANN behaved badly and there's reason to investigate possible anti-trust violations. If I were ICANN and worried about anti-trust allegations, not sure I'd want to give the same company control over all the adult TLDs. That might not look too good. ;)
