Domain name lawsuit

ICM Registry, the Florida-based start-up promoting the xxx-domain website for adult-oriented material Filed suit against the U.S. State Department and Department of Commerce for alleged Freedom of Information violations stemming from the ICM’s endeavor to promote the .xxx domain.

ICM claims it has documentation showing that the Government “exerted undue political influence on ICANN”s considerations of the .xxx domain application,” and undertook redactions in violation of FOIA.

ICANN reversed a preliminary June 2005 approval of the domain name on May 10th..
