I got up at 3am and watched the ICANN proceedings. They passed a resolution sending ICM's application for .XXX back to GAC for evaluation to see if the application still met the requirements for establishment. There were two abstentions and comments were made that some of the Board members were very uncomfortable with the vote as they believed that they were voting on something that was not representative of the facts.
Without industry support, the ICM application should die in the GAC when they do their evaluation and find that the application does not have the support of its' community as alleged in the application. We can still kill this beast.
When GAC reopens public comments which I expect will be soon, be sure you take a moment and express your opinion.
Most news casters blew the coverage and got the story wrong......
