US challenged over .xxx decision

[temi]

The domain would have created a net home for pornography
The backer of a failed bid to create a net domain for porn is trying to get its application reconsidered.
In early May ICM Registry's plans for a .xxx domain were rejected by the net's organising body Icann.

Now ICM is suing two US government departments for access to documents it claims show how they lobbied for the new net address to be rejected.

It has asked Icann to reconsider its application because it did not have all the facts about ICM's plans.

ICANN has already reconsider it twice but failed to get it approved. I dont think they might be succeed, I guess they are facing high political pressure as well.
