Marina del Rey, California, 10 May 2006: Today, ICANN's Board of Directors voted against a proposed agreement for a .XXX. Sponsored Top Level Domain (sTLD). The application was proposed by the ICM Registry.

The application has received much public comment and detailed discussion by the ICANN Board. Reflecting the diversity of views this application has generated, the Board discussion at today's meeting focused on the criteria for the sTLD, especially for sponsorship, and the terms of the contract proposed by ICM, including compliance issues related to key terms associated with public policy concerns. ICM had proposed additional terms in response to issues raised by ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee, particularly at ICANN's meeting in Wellington in March. http:// http://www.icann.org/announcements/a...t1-18apr06.htm

ICM had requested that the ICANN Board vote on the proposed contract at this meeting.

ICANN's Board voted 9 to 5 against the proposed agreement. Votes in favor of the proposed .XXX Registry Agreement were cast by the following Board Members: Veni Markovski, Susan Crawford, Peter Dengate Thrush, Joichi Ito, and Mouhamet Diop. Directors who voted against the approval were Vint Cerf (Chairman), Alejandro Pisanty (Vice-Chairman), Raimundo Beca, Demi Getschko, Hagen Hultzsch, Njeri Rionge, Vanda Scartezini, Paul Twomey (President and CEO), and Hualin Qian. Additional details regarding the vote will be provided by ICANN later this week.

Maybe not, but at least this was an actual vote, they've been putting off the vote for quite a while.

I wouldn't be at all surprised it "they" took another kick at the cat at some point in the near future.

I got the feeling while reading over some of the comments posted that those who were in favor of it were not in possession of all the technical facts of the interweb, and were merely supporting it out of a desire to segregate adult. They probably think it would be a magic solution to alleviate their own parental responsibility.

Nice to see cooler heads prevailed on this one.

as the WSJ article said the guys have been trying to get this going for years ( Jason tried, then the idea was "hospitalized" after ICANN voted it down already once few years ago, until Stuart Lawnley relived it )

since now its voted down oficially for the second time, then i guess it means we are safe for a good few years....

seeric · 05-10-2006, 06:22 PM

i hope this serves as a wake up call to the adult industry as a whole to start taking the industry as a whole more serious. this could have very easily gone the other way. the time is now to support these organizatons that go to bat for this business, act like professionals, and push through the TLDs that "we" know will stop kids from accessing adult materials as best as possible.

we do in fact peddle immoral goods in the eyes of millions of americans and the governments that "protect" those people. however, many other industries are also peddling "immoral" and in fact extremely devastating products that affect the daily lives of americans for the negative. lets talk about gun manufacturers, cigarette companies, alcohol companies, and drug compaies, just to shave a sliver off the type of companies that push "questionable" materials to all the poor innocent americans.

all of these industries are represented at the government level and lobby hard to make things happen in their favor.

it is a known fact that cigarettes kill millions every year, disrupting families and damaging happy american dreamer's lives every day.

guns are responsible for many deaths each year, yet still are poured on to the streets in ridiculous numbers. All legally, and under the limitations of the law, but only barely.

how many people die from paxil, vioxx, and god only knows how many other drugs that are advertised to people on prime time t.v. every night? All legally, and under the limitations of the law, but only barely.

alcohol companies market under the radar to young people under the guise of crafty marketing campaigns and nifty, chic ads designed to subliminally entice them into the products. All legally, and under the limitations of the law, but only barely.

porn does in fact break up marriages, cause some poeple to become sex addicts, possibly influence young people to have sex more frivolously, but in my opinion, and the opinion for may others, does not do the damage that many of these "represented" industries of vice and destruction.

these other industries work on the fringe of "immoral and questionable" just as we do, but they do it by the governments rules.

our industry has problems uniting. until we get over that, there will always be another .xxx, another law, another acacia, and blah blah blah.

i can get into a ridiculously lengthy editorial on why i think what i think from a ton of different perspectives, but i won't. i guess my main point out of all of this is this industry is so "me me me" that everyone risks everything they have more regularly than makes me comfortable, because many of us can say "us".

thats all. I am extrememly relieved. this could have easily been the begininng of a very long and trying perod as .xxx would have been the rollercoaster ride to hell in so many ways.

congrats people, but like baddog said, "well, doubt she(.xxx) is dead, but hospitalized anyway".

be well everyone. we dodged a bullet.
