ICANN Board Votes Against .XXX Sponsored Top Level Domain Agreement

10 May 2006

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.

THANK GOODNESS. Otherwise you may have lost half the hairy women sites on the Internet.

I’m in shock and my jaw dropped tonight, Chris was voted off of American Idol. He was in shock, too, absolute shock. It was SO unexpected, especially since Katherine sucked so badly last night. He’ll have a great career as a rock singer with a heavy metal band but damn, it broke my heart to see him voted off.
