DOMAIN REGISTRARS - like Enom, GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions, Tucows OPPOSE the .xxx TLD - GoFuckYourself.com

Well.. OK, not really

But this has been just posted at the ICANN forum

http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-icm.../msg01584.html

Basically they oppose Appendix S, Paragraph 6 of the proposed .XXX registry agreement, because it requires them to meet some obligations regarding Public Whois issues....

Quote:

As the paragraph in question establishes a new and generic obligation for
registrars
we have to object to the inclusion of this paragraph in the final verion of the
XXX Registry Agreement.

This would mean that if ICANN listens to them and changes that paragraph, we will have a "new" public comments round again for a few weeks.
(each change in the proposed agreement requires a new public comments period as far as I understand it).

Keep in mind though that they are opposing just some technical issues, not the whole .XXX idea (to remind you, GoDaddy was supporting .xxx one year ago).

--

Anyway, it's been great to see substantial opposition from the adult industry towards .xxx in recent weeks (interestingly - there was no support from adult webmasters towards .xxx anymore - AT ALL!) especially last 10 days or so. ICANN's board is meeting again 13 March and then they are holding a special meeting in Portugal, about 26-30 March (the Free Speech Coalition is planning to send their people to the Portugal meeting).

But perhaps ICANN will vote oficially on .xxx already in 4 days?
This (pro .xxx) blog entry suggest that as well

On March 13, the ICANN board is set to vote ? again ? on whether they can approve ICM?s Registry?s application to operate a domain reserved for adult online content.... (...)word is that a few ICANN Board members are leaning in a negative direction.

Anyway, we will see it in a few days.
