Currently: ICANN Publishes Draft Agreement on .XXX

Marina Del Rey, CA – This morning posted ICM’s draft agreement on a .XXX sponsored top level domain (sTLD).
On 30 March 2007, the Board rejected the proposed agreement. ICM sought an independent review of the Board’s denial of ICM’s application for the .XXX sTLD. Two of the three judges on the Independent Review Panel issued a statement that they believed ICM met its requirements for a .xxx sTLD, the third justice was in dissent of the opinion. ICANN Board members reluctantly voted to act accordance with some of the Panel’s findings and directed ICANN staff to conduct expedited due diligence of ICM and to proceed into draft contract negotiations with ICM.
Part of the requirements of that due diligence is the posting of the ICM application for public comment.
“FSC plans to sift through the hundreds of pages of the application and its associated documents,” said Diane Duke FSC Executive Director. “We will then and provide feedback to the industry about ICM’s application as well as the suggested next steps for the industry and FSC in blocking ICM’s .XXX sTLD. FSC members and the industry can expect additional information from FSC by the week’s end.”
The application will be posted for a thirty day public comment period commencing at 12:00 noon Pacific Daylight August 24, 2010 through 11:59 a.m. Pacific Daylight time September 23, 2010.
Comments can be submitted to xxx-revised-icm-agreement@icann.org and viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-revised-icm-agreement/.

Duke reminded industry members, “This is just another step in a process-it is far from over and CERTAINLY not a done deal.”
