.XXX is .DEAD - GoFuckYourself.com

FightThisPatent · 03-31-2007, 10:17 AM

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!

Lawley says that he's going to sue, so I guess we'll have to see what happens with that.

I'm really surprised that alot of the board members thought the adult industry was "divided" over the issue. Lawley made the argument that all of the pre-registrations were proof of support.
Personally I know of noone in the industry who supported .xxx. The pre-regs were just people attempting to protect their brand. We should find a way to make that clear to the board members should this issue come up again (and it will)

when i say divided, i don't mean a 50/50 split.

There are large program owners who supported .XXX with their signed letters (24 in fact as claimed by ICM.. several of whom retracted with written letters).

The absurdity of the "sponsored community" definition by ICM of basically being those adult companies who want labeling and .XXX was what we were challenging the ICANN members... to look at that definition and to realize it doesn't make sense.

A community should be made up of all members.. for example.. the proposed .museum sTLD.. there are no "responsible" museums that make up a subset, the community is the entire group, much like with .travel and .mobi

.XXX was trying to create a subset of community of support.

There are many adult webmasters who favor labelling, but not .XXX... so that right there shows that the definition that ICM was using for .XXX was self-created and not representing what ICANN's mission of creating TLDs for communities that want them.

ICM does have the right to appeal, and he will, but given the large opposition not only from the adult community but from member countries around the world, ICANN made the best decision. No matter which way they voted, there were going to be major reprocussions..

Fight the .XXX!

davecummings · 04-01-2007, 12:02 PM

Whew!

Thanks to everyone who assisted in getting this loaded gun out of our faces.

If ICM sues, I wonder if the so-called group of "24" supporters and the others ICM spun as a sign of support from folks who would be affected by .xxx might be exposed via court filings, depositions, court transcripts, etc. The aforemented folks might want to pray that ICM doesn't sue, as exposing them might be bad for their future profits? What's YOUR opinion about their exposure, and what might it do to their business?
