Sounds like they might put it off again.

The suspense is killing me.

The motion was "malformed", and they had to skip over it. LOL Incompetence at its finest! Let's see how long they take to get back to it.

Thx for that link. watching now!

It got passed.

They're voting on it now (I think you're referencing the prior motion).

What? .xxx got passed? Seriously?

thanks for the like watch it as well.

They're still voting. George Sadowsky (one Board member) is saying he'll vote against. (others just recused themselves from the vote)

it's not going to get passed

Great speech by George Sadowsky. Points will appear in the lawsuit if .xxx is accepted.

What you smoking? Everyone else said they still voting ?

Katim Touray, another Board member, is saying he'll vote against it now.

Yeah next one votes against :)

Bertrand de la Chapelle is saying he'll vote FOR it.

I think this is going to be a close vote

Erika Mann said she "wants to take the risk" and is for it.

FSC and XBIZ are reporting that its passed already.

Pretty strange considering we are still listening to the vote.

Completely fucking stinks to me.

Ray Plzak will vote for it. That's 3-2 FOR .xxx now.

Not good

Kuo-Wei Wu is going to vote NO. That's 3-2 AGAINST.

pfew... 3-3

Okay, I jumped the gun, they are voting now.

GeorgeK, do you know how many board members are voting today?

I really don't understand it. Did it pass or not?

not good, it got passed.

It just passed

Just passed.

Fuck them all

Of course it passed. ICM spent money and ICAAN didn't bother to even do a simple search on a message board to see what the industry thought about the matter.

ICM has money and thats all ICAAN cares about.

mmm so if I want to register .xxx domains now what should I do?

lol i love their title:

Promoting online responsibility. LOL

All of you that did nothing to defeat it really have no room to complain. :2 cents:

Who supports .xxx?

The .xxx extension is a private-sector-supported, market-driven and non-regulatory top-level domain, and it has drawn the support of a broad coalition of Internet stakeholders globally, including:

- Child and family safety groups
Leaders and members of the global adult entertainment industry that have agreed to participate voluntarily
- Free speech, privacy and security advocates
- Information technology (IT) experts
- Public policy leaders
