MANWIN AND ICM COME TO AGREEMENT
May 1, 2013 ? LUXEMBOURG ? Following a dispute that began in November
2011, Manwin and Manwin DP have come to an agreement with ICM Registry to bring
the dispute to an end.
One of Manwin?s key motivations was to make .XXX pricing lower and more
competitive.
Manwin has negotiated a lower price for newly-created .XXX domains created in the
month of May 2013. .XXX domains will be made available to registrars at a substantially
discounted wholesale price of USD$7.85, which is the current wholesale price of a
.com. ICM will run similar price promotions in future years as well.
Furthermore, ICM has agreed to contribute USD$2 for every new .XXX domain name
registration created after April 30, 2013. The monthly contribution will be made to a
fund designated by Manwin to support the adult entertainment industry. These funds are
in addition to ICM's contributions to IFFOR.
Beyond the financial agreements, Manwin will now permit content from or advertising for
.XXX websites on its Tube sites. In addition, Manwin related properties will allow
websites hosted on .XXX sites to participate in any of its affiliate and promotional
programs generally available to other website operators.
In the agreement ICM also acknowledges that websites hosted on their adult-specific
TLDs are not the only responsible and safe adult content websites.
Both parties feel that these arrangements will set precedent for trade and consumer
benefit and protection for the online space.
