===Adult Performer Program===
In anticipation of the launch of .xxx, ICM Registry reserved some 3,500 names of prominent adult entertainers and pornography stars to later be allocated via the "Adult Performer Program". The program was launched in February, 2012, in conjunction with [[Names.com]], and saw ICM giving those stars their personalized .xxx domain registered through Name.com for one full year. The performers would be free to transfer the domain, and it would be there responsibility to renew and maintain the domain after the first year.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/02/21/icm-name-com-announce-details-of-adult-performer-program-3500-xxx-domain-names/ IC Name com Announce Details of Adult Performer Program 3500 xxx Domain names, TheDomains.com]</ref><ref>[http://domainincite.com/icm-offers-free-xxx-domains-to-porn-stars/ ICM offers Free XXX Domains to Porn Stars, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
