ICM Registry proposed the .xxx as non-sponsored generic top-level domain name ([[gTLD]]) during the ICANN Proof of Concept round in 2000. ICANN's evaluation team did not recommend the string because of the "controversy surrounding it and the poor
definition
of
the
hope for
benefits
of .xxx." On December 15, 2000, ICM Registry filed a Reconsideration Request with ICANN but no action was rendered. The ICANN Board cited that "no new TLD proposals has been rejected rather a small set of potentially successful applicants had been selected with the aim of testing a diversity of approaches to the creation of new TLDs." | ICM Registry proposed the .xxx as non-sponsored generic top-level domain name ([[gTLD]]) during the ICANN Proof of Concept round in 2000.
