Let's see if I can finally put this one to bed.. ASACP did NOT support .XXX. We had a meeting about their proposal to us and agreed that it was not in our mission to come out fighting on either one side or the other. We did however, say we'd support any efforts ICM made to protect children. At the time that really didn't seem like a strong show of support. Remember, at that time, ICM had not positioned .XXX as being about protecting children... it was about having a new adult business opportunity. In the current US political climate, ICM turned it into a child protection issue and we were dragged in. We weren't thrilled with that.
