The names I was given are not ASACP Board members.
Joan's out of town, and I would rather have her address your concerns, but my feeling is that after the initial outcry over the "ICM supporting ASACP" deal, that the last thing she'll want is a cut of sales ? or the controversey surrounding that plan. Sure, ASACP can use all the donations it can get in order to continue its good work, but I doubt they need the money so badly that they have to alienate half the industry to do it. Still, Joan can tell you straight up the status of that deal.

No, the two year old deal was about how the type-in traffic to non-registered domains would be split up. For example, if nobody registered pussy.xxx, the type-ins of that name would be funneled to various players.
Follow THAT deal if you want to know who really stands to benefit from .xxx

For those that *really* look past the emotion and focus at the issue and the facts surrounding it (and I count myself among that group) ? the question of whether or not you support .xxx isn't as simple as "yes" or "no" as there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
In my next blog post (tomorrow or Friday) I'll delve into the reasons why .xxx could be the best thing to happen to the biz at this point ? and why it won't work and instead could be the worst thing to happen to us. After you read that, I'm certain that alot of folks will reconsider their stance, either for or against, .xxx, and realize some of the factors that don't get a lot of attention.
