'''.porn''' is one of the proposed new generic top level domain name ([[gTLD]]) of [[ICM Registry]] under [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD expansion program]]. The domain name string is dedicated for the use of the adult entertainment community. According to [[Stuart Lawley]], CEO of ICM Registry, if the .porn gTLD will be approved all domain names registered under the [[.xxx]] gTLD will be grandfathered and the matching names will be automatically reserved under .porn gTLD without cost to the registrants. However, if registrants decide to activate and use the reserved .porn domain names, a nominal fee will be charged. <ref>[http://www.icmregistry.com/press/xxx-operator-applies-to-icann-for-more-adult-top-level-domains/#more-1510 .XXX Operator Applies to ICANN for More Adult Top-Level Domains]</ref>
