SPOTLIGHT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magic of Las Vegas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dot Vegas Inc. has announced the release of 2000+ previously Registry Reserved names, as well as 3,500+ names previously listed as premium. This release begins August 1,2019 through October 31,2019. The domain names will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registrants with a valid signed mark data (SMD) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) can apply for a domain name previously listed as Registry Reserved. Beginning November 1, 2019 the domain names will be open to all interested registrants, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. CSC is actively working to become order ready for this release. If you have any questions or interest in the name release, please contact your Client Service Partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adults Only<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A new domain blocking mechanism has arrived, and this time, it is adults only \u2013 adult themes, that is. ICM Registry, (acquired by Minds & Machines (MMX) registry), recently announced a soft launch of a new blocking program that allows defensive minded Organizations to block registrations aimed specifically at its 4 adult-themed TLDs \u2013 .xxx, .adult, .porn, and .sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICM is no stranger to blocks, having been a pioneer of this type of protection service for .xxx in 2011, with a \u201cSunrise B\u201d phase to protect rights holders from infringement in a domain space that they may otherwise have no interest in registering. ICM now looks to expand that program to their subsequent adult-themed TLDs (.adult\/.sex\/.porn), which launched in 2015. The \u2018AdultBlock\u2019 program is partnering and utilizing the same platform of the recently launched Uniregistry\u2019s Uni EPS and EPS+ Block programs and will operate in a similar manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adult blocks are available at two levels, \u2018AdultBlock\u2019 standard and AdultBlock Plus (\u201c+\u201d). The standard offering protects a single label across all four of the TLDs, inclusive of any premium domains. The AdultBlock+ allows a wider coverage of an unlimited number of variant labels from the owners\u2019 SMD file or their original ICM \u201cSunrise B\u201d label from the 2011 launch of .xxx.  The AdultBlock+ level of protection also covers variants using homoglyphs and IDNs, which can appear confusingly similar to the English (ASCII) characters in a domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSC will continue to provide details on the launch as more information becomes available. If you have questions, or would like to express interest, please contact your Client Service Partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
