and that's why we can't trust anything they say or trust them to keep any of the 'promises' they've made.

Connor 12-10-2010 11:34 AM

All they did was delay things ... looks like the ICANN board wants to negotiate w/ GAC. This does NOT mean that .XXX is beaten, so don't celebrate yet. This is just a procedural delay.

Paul&John 12-10-2010 11:45 AM

Very nice news!

seeric 12-10-2010 11:48 AM

of course they did. they have to wait for it to go before the GAC again. the GAC will deny him again for not having the sponsored communities backing. this guy is ruthless though. he won't stop. even when he's denied, he will start over.

Va2k 12-10-2010 11:51 AM

Fingers crossed it will be perm gone soon!

stuart is banking on everyone in adult now thinking that he's been defeated so he can pull some shit under the guise of darkness. its like in the movies when you watch a street fight and you think that the guy is knocked out conscious and you turn you back on him and he gets up and smacks you with a pipe and KOs you.

i'd hope no one falls for this. it's not over.

LeRoy 12-10-2010 12:06 PM

Glad to see Jefferey Douglas in the fight.

I had a long conversation with him before I entered this space :)

The FSC board elections are coming up again... I know Jeffrey is safe, but still, everyone make sure to vote for Jeffrey and for Reed Lee. I was on the board, and I promise you, they are the FSC's greatest assets other than Diane of course.

Hey, Connor......

Woops I forgot you were up for re-election too Sid, my bad! Sid is DEFINITELY on the side of the good guys, another board member who NEEDS to return.

I have a question for FSC.

What do you intend to do now that ICANN is determined to approve .XXX and the only thing holding them up is that little thing called support from the sponsored community, and the blessing of the GAC?

This whole thing wreaks of a movie plot at this point. It's apparent that Lawley has obviously gotten to ICANN and now I would assume the next move from him is to "make a friend" inside GAC somehow, or potentially have his ICANN ally now try to lobby the GAC in his favor financially and or politically somehow. Everyone likes money.

How does the FSC intend to thwart the attempts of ICM to get to the GAC and corrupt the process that is apparently not working in his favor this whole time?

It's brutally obvious by the comments during the commenting periods opened by ICANN that he does not have the support of the industry, and that all early registrations were accomplished by opportunists, domaineers, and scared .com TLD holders. The GAC saw right through it the first time.

Who's going to get bought off this time around? What can the FSC do to help thwart this, or at least be able to blow the whistle on some corruption?

This whole thing is stinking like a dead corpse at this point.

FYI, thanks for fighting the fight so far. This has been going on for over 5 years now.

Thanks.

Redrob 12-10-2010 12:57 PM

I hope the FSC will continue to monitor the .XXX gTLD's progress (or lack of progress) and offer input and express concerns when and where appropriate.

Actually, it's an sTLD... and that's a big part of the problem. ;-)

title says declines, post says postpones.... big difference, which is it ?

yeah looks like another typical post on here where people fudge the title on purpose for views. Declines to approve XXX sounds pretty final, but if all they did was "postpone" a decision then that isn't anything great, the shit is still out there and not over with yet.

This is killing me. Why do people keep posting these "good news" comments, when all that happened was a delay. I hope that it get defeated, but NOTHING was decided, and in fact ICANN used language saying they intend to enter into an agreement for .XXX with ICM.

People, NOTHING DEFINITIVE has happened yet. if ICANN can get the GAC to drop its objections, then it's over and .XXX will happen. So the only thing that I can see standing in the way is the fact that there's no measurable industry support.

DO NOT DROP YOUR GUARD.

because of the miss leading title. Very few people actually read around here. They see the title say " ICAAN Declines to Approve .XXX" and it sounds like it is over. Miss leading title + stupid people = the answer you looking for. :2 cents:

Two significantly different quotes from different parties:

Quote:

“It would have been an unwise decision to disregard GAC’s resolute opposition, potentially having grave impact on ICANN’s multi-community model. The sponsorship community is opposed, and ICANN’s Government Advisory Committee is opposed. The only entity that would have benefited from an immediate approval was ICM.”
versus

Quote:

According to ICM's Stuart Lawley, today's decision was what he had hoped for.

"As per their bylaws, when they decide to do something that is or may not be in accordance with GAC advice, they must confer with the GAC and their statement today that they intend to sign the contract with us, has officially triggered that process that will be complete in February," Lawley said.
Hard to follow unless you are privy to the politics behind all this which most of us are not. Which is more telling the truth here minus the spin? Can they really go ahead and do it if the ICANN G.A.C. is against it?
