there has been NUMEROUS (as in 50+) threads about this issue in the past and 95% of the webmasters were definitely against it

there has been also threads discussing the arbitration process, which - if I remember right- is something unusual, and not really made used of normally. It is not certain if that "Arbitration panel" can really reverse the decision of the ICANN Board which declined this application.

having said that, per the new ICANN rules introduced around one year ago, it will be much easier to apply and have new top level domains accepted in the near future, so it increases the chances that sooner or later this .xxx domain will be approved. ICM probably has its reasons to try to just reverse the old rejection instead of waiting and applying under the new rules. Under the new rules, there might be other organisations/companies who could submit their own application for .xxx, and if they paid more than ICM, than they'd get the extension.

This comes from someone who has been following tis issue carefully for around 5 years.
