I - because of the silly trademark or Lensman because he owns adult.com and that is a brand
IMHO - and again, I'm not a lawyer - you will have better chances for getting adult.xxx than Lensman will. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the end.

Check out sex.com and look all the way in the buttom. Kremen owns those three trademarks already and is making use of them in public. It won't be too difficult for him to win those .xxx names when the time comes, IMHO.

I don't know who. Some committee I guess.

Yes, adult.com is a brand. Again: ADULT.COM is a brand, nothing else. Does that mean they should also own adult.jobs or adult.mobi? Instead of sitting and hoping for some special considerations, I'd suggest that these big players spend the extra few hundred dollars on obtaining trademarks TODAY.
