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.

ICM registry, let the lawsuites begin, so the debate about ICANN and US dominance over the internet can be kept alive... I will take years of politicians arguing, then years of politicians agreeing :)

ICANN chief executive, Paul Twomey, said that the .xxx domain could be revived if a proposal were submitted to ICANN for its establishment under its regime for registering generic top-level-domains.

"It wouldn't have to pass criteria for sponsored domains," Mr Twomey said

He said some board members had doubts about whether the domain would qualify as a community of interest under ICANN's current guidelines for sponsored domains.

"The applicant had put it forward as a sponsored community from the responsible adult entertainment community. We had received letters from major companies in the sector saying that they were not supportive of it," Mr Twomey said.

Board members were also "uncomfortable" with wording in ICM's proposed contract for the domain, Mr Twomey said.

The contract in part established rules for complying with ICANN's policy expectations.

ICM had proposed to enforce pornography laws applicable across national jurisdictions. However, Mr Twomey said that ICANN's board had received advice that raised the possibility that the regulator might be held responsible should ICM fail to meet the obligation.

"Some of the members of the board asked well how do you enforce that? How do you have compliance against that?" he said.

Mr Twomey said he would reveal his personal reasons for opposing the domain when the views of all members were published later this month.
