The International Foundation for Online Responsibility Names Inaugural Executive Director

May 13, 2011


Washington, DC (May 3, 2011) The International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR), the non for profit organization tasked with policy making for the new .XXX Top Level Domain, is pleased to announce that Joan Irvine will be their first Executive Director.

Ms. Irvine comes to IFFOR with a wealth of experience. Most recently, she was the CEO of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP). ASACP develops Best Practices and monitors its member sites for compliance and manages a child pornography reporting hotline.

With ASACP, Ms. Irvine spearheaded the development of the Restricted to Adults (RTA) website label that helps prevent children from viewing age-restricted content. The Association Society of Association Executives (ASAE) recognized Ms. Irvine for this project with their ?Associations Make a Better World? award in 2008. The U.S. House of Representatives awarded Ms. Irvine a Congressional Commendation plus she has been recognized by many Californian legislators and cities for her efforts on behalf of child protection.

?I will continue to serve the needs of online child protection, the responsible online adult entertainment industry and the other stakeholders as the Executive Director of The International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR)?, says Ms. Irvine. ?I felt it was important that someone who understands the industry, compliance, and legislation should help lead IFFOR and to also oversee the policy development process to assure that all interests are adequately represented as required under the IFFOR Charter.

?I?ve known Joan for more than 7 years and can?t think of a more-qualified person than her to take the helm at IFFOR? says Stuart Lawley, Chairman of IFFOR. ?We look forward to working with Joan and the policy council as they develop policies and best business practices for .XXX domains which will serve the global adult online community.?
