ICM Registry Operator of .XXX Wins Rights to The New gTLD .Sex
Quote:
ICM Registry the operator of the .XXX registry has won the right to operate the .Sex new gTLD.
The other applicant for .Sex, Internet Marketing Solutions Limited has withdrawn their application, leaving ICM?s the lone applicant for .Sex.
ICM also is the only applicant for the new gTLD?s .adult and .porn
The only caveat on the new gTLD?s .Sex, .Adult and .Porn is that just a few weeks ago, seemingly out of nowhere, the New gTLD Committee of ICANN commented that they might be sensitive strings requiring further discussion.
We don?t know how ICM Registry and Internet Marketing Solutions resolved their contention for the .Sex extension nor what the terms were.
Interestedly .Sex was the among the last new gTLD set for ICANN?s Last Resort Auction which was not scheduled until next year.
ICM Registry has previously said that owners of .XXX domain names would have some grandfather rights to acquire matching .Sex, .Porn and .Adult domains.
