As I was writing some time ago, ICM Registry took several attempts with ICANN to approve .xxx TopLevelDomain (TLD). Read here.

Now in June 2010 domain extensions .xxx was approved by Internet Governance body ICANN.

“ICM Registry will now work with ICANN staff to complete the expedited due diligence on our technical and financial qualifications and to finalize the contract to run .xxx.

Our expectation is that this step will proceed smoothly and will not impede the roll-out of .xxx and we expect to go live with .xxx domains at the start of 2011, if not sooner. We have 110,000 pre-reservations and expect that number to increase now that ICANN has formally approved our application.”
