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/announcement1-18apr06.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/communique-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.
