Remember .XXX? Well Its Back Again...
ICANN are currently considering yet another proposed agreement to bring .xxx online...
Quote:
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.
