Submission to create .xxx - a top-level domain just for porn web - Red Ribbon will be linked to at least some months after having exercised pressure on national Governments ICANN to block his approval.
At the meeting of the ICANN 39 this week at Cartagena, Colombia, Board of Directors of ICANN its intention to approve .xxx domain ICM registry, but said that he would be first to confront the Government's objections.
This is the last - and perhaps last - a series of challenges and calls who suffered the bid since it was first proposed in 2003.
Proposed domain is so controversial that ICANN over the years has been creating new processes, policy and procedures for appeals just to handle the different flavours of protests.
Happened once more this week due to a decision by ICANN officially unprecedented his disagreement with the .xxx opposition from the governmental Advisory Committee.
The GAC is a collection of officials representing dozens of Governments around the world. The notice shall be given considerable weight consensus through ICANN decision-making rules.
By saying that it "means an agreement with ICM Registry Registry" for .xxx, ICANN has - for the first time in its history 12 years - officially established the GAC on notice that it intends to reject his advice.
This means that the Board of ICANN and the GAC will meet face to face of thrash their differences in a meeting scheduled for February 2011.
Frameworks of the CIM, who hoped to have their proposal approved once and for all of this week, have nevertheless optimistic on its prospects for the approval of a few months from now.
It cannot be a given, however. Several Governments in the GAC are "emphatically opposed" to .xxx on grounds of public policy, a post first reported in 2007 and reiterated today.
MCI is a company based in Florida, led by the British Stuart Lawley businessman who has pumped millions of his own money in applying .xxx - mainly on lawyers - for the past seven years.
The application has been provisionally approved by ICANN once before, a decision that reversed the organization later. On appeal, ICANN has been forced to return to its original position.
Supply was confronted with substantial opposition from religious groups outraged, who think .xxx will result in more porn.
Many Pornographers based United States, who believe that having a "red neighbourhood" porn internet will lead to higher prices and invite government censorship, will continue to oppose the proposed domain. ®
