if .XXX gets passed, there will be several "industry leaders" that can be thanked for that... whether misguided, misinformed, or greed was the factor, the result is that adult industry support for .XXX help got ICM Registry on the map with ICANN, and created the opportunity for congress to take that .XXX TLD application and use it for their own means.
Sure, congress could have dreamed up .XXX or .SEX or .SMUT on their own, but the ICM Registry .XXX TLD application had a thought-out plan and structure and had proven to ICANN that they had constituency of the adult community.
Those listed at

Fight the backroom deals!
