Fuck XBiz .XXX unlikely to succeed
 
Don't think your voice goes unheard...it doesn't as is indicated here



From CBR Online

"A majority of ICANN's directors are concerned that .xxx may not be wanted by the adult entertainment industry it would purport to serve, according to minutes of a February 12 ICANN board meeting published Friday."

Its board agreed last Monday that "a majority of the board has serious concerns about whether the proposed .xxx domain has the support of a clearly-defined sponsored community as per the criteria for sponsored TLDs".

In other words, most of the board are still not convinced that the adult entertainment industry actually wants the .xxx domain.

According to ICANN's minutes, of the 88 adult webmasters that contacted ICANN during a recent public comment period, only 23 were in favor of the domain.

That's a 26% approval rating, pretty low but still higher than the 16% portion of favorable comments received overall during the comment period. Most respondents were those opposed to pornography in general and see .xxx as an endorsement of the industry.
However, while it was arguably the religious right that caused ICANN to shelve ICM's proposal last year, it is now adult webmasters themselves that are the main barrier to .xxx.

You know it is more effective to bitch on GFY than in person.

No but you can bet your ass I made my disagreement known...without putting any money in XBiz pocket

The article cited the commentary period as one of the factors, way moreso than that little bend over and let us fuck you show that XBiz did
