    Remember .XXX? Well Its Back Again...

    ICANN are currently considering yet another proposed agreement to bring .xxx online...

    A revised proposed agreement with ICM providing for designation of a .XXX sTLD registry is published for public comment. The public comment period will be open until 5 February 2007.

    Background

    ICM submitted one of ten applications received in response to an ICANN Request for Proposal to create new Sponsored Top-Level Domain (sTLD) registries (see http://www.icann.org/tlds/stld-apps-19mar04/).

    Details on the process are contained in the recently posted announcement.

    More recently, a proposed registry agreement for .XXX (sponsored by the ICM registry) was posted on 16 April 2006 (see http://www.icann.org/announcements/a...1-18apr06.htm). ICANN requested and received substantial comments on the previously posted agreement. ICANN also requested and received advice from the ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) regarding the application (see, http://www.icann.org/committees/gac/...ue-28mar06.pdf [PDF, 91K]).

    The ICANN Board considered the agreement at its meeting on 10 May 2006 and voted not to approve the agreement as proposed, but did not reject the application.

    Subsequently, ICM has continued to work to modify the agreement in order to address public policy issues raised by the GAC. ICM and ICANN Staff have been renegotiating a revised agreement for community review and board consideration. Following the public comment period, the ICANN Board will consider the revised proposed agreement in light of the ICANN community feedback and other public comments received.

    Regards,

    Lee

    The problem is these dumbasses spent a fortune developing the proposal and the infrastructure for this domain, which no one wants, and which they are trying to sell to two different audiences (industry and legislators) by talking out of two different sides of their mouth.

    When you've blown through half a million bucks (or whatever the number is), you can bet that you're going to try everything to get people to accept your proposal.

    Let's hope ICANN will just say "fuck off, we've already dealt with this and told you no."

    Some of the comments in the forum for it are rather amusing however. I would hope that if anyone here took the time to send in public comments (which you can email to: xxx-icm-agreement@icann.org) you would take a little more time and be a little more professional.

    Oh well. My $0.02 once again.
