.XXX Update From Front Lines
When Jeffrey Douglas and I traveled to the ICANN Conference in Cartagena, Colombia, to oppose .XXX our attention was focused on the opposition from ICANN’s own Government Advisory Council (GAC).

Opposition from the sponsorship community had been established and from ICANN Board member comments at the meeting in Brussels it was clear that they understand the level of opposition. However, we will keep reminding them that entering into a contract with ICM would be detrimental to our industry, ICANN and the internet community as a whole.
