Rumours are that the ICM folks are still lobbying hard on ICANN.. seems to be quite a battle going on..
You have basically all the ICANN members outside of the US complaining that ICANN is a US-controlled entity, and want the UN to run things.. and are opposed to .XXX to use it as their political tool to gain some kind of leverage.
You have right wing religious folks hell-bent in their email campaigns to ICANN to reject .XXX as well since they feel it legitimizes porn.
All of this overwhelming votes against .XXX by diverse groups, including those companies that took a public stand and listed at
http://www.FightTheDotXXX.com was helped only by a last minute call by the Chairman.
It seems that ICM had a majority vote of ICANN directors, but then squashed at the last minute by the chairman... who was probably seeing that something funny was going on when so many didn't want .XXX.
ICANN is certainly in hot waters over .XXX and critics of ICANN for all these years are jumping in to add to the bonfire.
Further what is interesting, is a report from ICANN recent meeting had several blackened out paragraphs on .XXX that apparently ICM/ICANN didn't want people to know about. I am guessing these had names of companies that gave their support or businesses that had connections to ICM got the black marker in the PDF.
Fight the things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm!
