Registration:

.XXX domain name registrations are reserved to the Adult Entertainment Industry. However, registrants who are not members of this sponsored community can register a non resolving .XXX domain name.

Definition of the sponsored community

It consists of individuals, business, entities, and organizations that fit one of the following descriptions:

• Provide Online Adult Entertainment intended for consenting adults (“Providers”) (e.g. adult webmasters, performers, studios, store owners, club operators);
• Represent Providers (“Representatives”)  (e.g. lawyers, agents, advisors, accountants, affiliates); or
• Provide products or services to Providers and Representatives (“Service Providers”) (e.g. adult domainers, manufacturers, delivery companies, caterers, distribution companies, merchant account services, make up artists, stylists, hosting services).

In order to be a member of the sponsored community, registrants must self attest they meet this definition and must complete the validation process

Sponsored community validation process

1. The applicant orders the registration to NETIM. 
2. The registry,ICM, sends the person/company an introduction email with validation link – to the Registrant Contact email address provided with their application.
3. The person/company clicks on the validation link in the ICM email and is directed to the ICM Membership Application.
4. The person/company fills out the ICM Membership Application — free of charge.  (Takes about 5 minutes to complete – only have to do this one time per email account, not per domain.)
5. As a part of ICM's Membership Application, the person has to do the following:
   • Provide correct birth date information
   • Agree to ICM's terms of service
   • Attest to being a member of the Sponsored Community 
6. ICM will validate certain contact details:
   • Address
   • Phone Number
7. ICM will call the phone number provided during the Membership Application
8. In that phone call, ICM will provide the person with a PIN # (real time) and the applicant will input the pin in the designated area in the Membership Application process.
9. Once the person completes the Membership Application, ICM provides a Membership Token thus allowing all of the .xxx domain names associated with that email account to resolve.

No name in the .XXX TLD will resolve unless and until the registrant has completed this Membership Validation Process. So registrants who are not members of the Sponsored Community can register a domain name for reservation only.

Renewal:

A renewal extends the domain name from one to 9 years. Renewal procedure must be carried out before the domain's expiration date, otherwise the domain will switch to quarantine status for 30 days before being removed. During this status, the domain is no longer active but can still be restored.
