ICANN posts summary/analysis of .xxx comments

ICANN has posted a summary and analysis of the .xxx public comments:

http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-rev.../msg00723.html

(the link to the PDF attachment gets randomized every few minutes, so you don't want to link directly to that)

It's a good primer for those who want to get up to speed on the issues, or see if their own comments were summarized properly. I found it amusing that 448 of the 455 comments in favour of .xxx were "webform/standard form submissions" (see the table on page 11).

The next ICANN Board meeting is on October 28:

and .xxx is on the agenda (item #8), but ICANN isn't expected to actually do anything until they've received advice from the GAC (i.e. the Governmental Advisory Committee). You can see a list of those GAC members at:

Supposedly a "final" decision will be made at the Catagena meeting in December:

but who knows for sure......certainly the losing side will appeal or sue in court.
