 Public Comment: Report of Possible Process Options for Further
Consideration of the ICM Application for the .XXX sTLD

26 March 2010

On 19 February 2010, the Independent Review Panel issued its Declaration in
the Independent Review filed by ICM Registry challenging ICANN's denial of
ICM's application for the .XXX sTLD.

Pursuant to ICANN's Bylaws, the Board of Directors considered the Panel's
Declaration at the Board's meeting on 12 March 2010, and directed ICANN's
CEO and General Counsel to finalize a report of possible process options for
further consideration, and post that report for no less than 45 days of
public comment. The Board's resolution on this matter is available at
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-12mar10-en.htm#15. A full
transcript of the Board Meeting is also available at
http://nbo.icann.org/meetings/nairobi2010/transcript-board-meeting-12mar10-en.txt.
