===Registration Stats===
In January, 20111, Afilias announced that the 3-month old .xxx extension had over 200,000 registrations, which were being technically supported by Afilias. However, more than half of these were not signed into the [[Root Zone|root zone]], meaning that many of the registrations were [[Defensive Registration|defensive acquisitions]] by trademark owners, or pre-blocked domains by ICM that will never be resolving domains.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/01/18/afilias-xxx-breaks-200k-domains-under-management-a-look-inside-the-numbers/ Afilias XXX 200k Domains Under Management a Look Inside the Numbers, TheDomains.com]</ref>
