.xxx is just a tld that some company (registrar) will own the registration rights to - where you will have to register .xxx through them or through a registrar that works with them. people can never seem to get their mind around the fact that its an investment and his arguments about all adult stuff going on .xxx are simply whats required to get ICAAN to take a serious look at the application.
.xxx has zero to with anything else. not with the US government. not with pending legislation... not with anything.
ICAAN is now preparing to review applications and approve all kinds of TLD's and has basically opened the system up where they are accepting proposals and upfront application fees for ANY tld (not sure if they decided a final number on this yet.. but their suggestions have ranged from "well, thats not too bad" to "oh my fucking god.. what are they basing that on")
so, your paranoia about .xxx is quite misplaced. the system that existed when this was initially proposed has now been replaced entirely with something new and different that is intended to make all kinds of retarded tld's happen.
being worried that .xxx will or won't go through is pretty retarded since ICAAN has changed the process for approving new TLD's completely to allow for this exact thing. Your problem isn't some guy or some registrar anymore.
