There is some great news for holders of embarrassing, adult domain name portfolios.
In a unanimous decision by ICANN, all registrants of adult domains can now apply for what ICANN calls a “certificate of absolution” – a clearance document that enables such domains to not be classified as adult any longer.
“I think it’s a great move by ICANN”, says Spyro Papadopoulos, chairman of the ‘Domainers for ICANN’ committee. “This doubles the opportunities for a sale, as these adult domain names can now be listed in the non-adult forums, auctions and other such sales venues. For once, ICANN does something right!”
ICANN endorses the local Registries to pass the cost of certification onto the registrants, through the Registrars. Confused yet?
You shouldn’t be, as it’s rather simple.
ICANN will be receiving $1 for every registration of adult domains, based on an extensive dictionary of words; thus, enabling the certification of those who apply for it. The cost will be covered by increasing domain registration fees worldwide.
“We’re always looking for opportunities to expand our relationships with investors worldwide”, said Lucinda Tamales, a spokesperson for ICANN. “At ICANN we need the extended cash-flow in order to invest in the future via the expansion of our infrastructure. And it doesn’t hurt to visit overseas often!”, she added while boarding a plane for an ICANN meeting in the French Riviera.
Certificates of absolution for adult domain names will begin to be issued in March of next year, to match the price increases in registration fees by ICANN.

“Adult Domain Names are offered certificate of absolution”
Lucius, that’s good news for you and Giovanni.
Now you can register DomainGangBang.com and get your absolution.
Once you receive absolution, I’m sure the Pope will look the other way.
That’s a fantastic idea, Patrick. With all the “FEST” this and “FEST” that domain conferences sprouting out, we could have our very own domainers’ F..K FEST! 😀
That’s a fantastic idea. I have about 25 adult domains that I would not want my mom to know about!! 😀
John, sorry to hear about that. Maybe your mom would understand, if you talked to her about your adult domain problem.
“…we could have our very own domainers’ F..K FEST!”
Lucius,
Don’t forget me when you hand out some free tickets!
“…we could have our very own domainers’ F..K FEST!”
Maybe Rick Schwartz will advertise the Domainers’ F..K FEST on his Porno.com
site in exchange for a couple of free tickets.
Ya think? 😀
