In a few months and if ICANN finally approve the registry contact the new gTLD .xxx will start running. Members of the Sponsored Community (online adult entertainment industry and those supplying products or services to that industry) are eligible to register resolving domains in .xxx. Others that are not members of the Community may register non-resolving domains if they are concerned about potential abusive registration or Intellectual Property protection Who can apply? -Members of the Sponsored Community that hold the registration for the requested name in another ICANN recognized Top Level Domain, including .com, .net or a country code domain for example and that name must have been registered prior to Feb 1 2010. -Others that are not members of the Community may register non-resolving domains if they are concerned about potential abusive registration or Intellectual Property protection. -Community members may submit expressions of interest for as many as 10,000 names not currently registered to them in any other TLD. Intellectual Property applicants, who are not members of the sponsored community can apply for all the names they feel they have Trademark rights over and would wish to seek to protect. Entorno Digital is waiting to become an accredited registratr in order to register .xxx, but the registration phases have not been published. We think that the registry is going to use the normal registration phases, sunrise, landrush and Golive, if there are more than one applicant eligible to reserve a particular string in .xxx the registry will use a tiebreak to allocate the name in an equitable manner. This will likely take the form of a mini-auction between the qualifying applicants. This however will not prevent any party from exercising any Intellectual Property rights. Successful candidates will be informed and given an electronic token to be used as evidence of that right when registering through a registrar. Pre-register your .xxx at entorno.es for free.!
