.XXX Formally Discloses IFFOR Board

Group to help set policy for fresh .xxx domain name.

One of the interesting quirks regarding the fresh .xxx domain name is that it will help fund a group called International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR).

IFFOR will get $10 from every domain registration in order to initiate “a series of policies for responsible business practices and conduct within the .XXX online adult-entertainment community”.

Today the group sent out a press release formally announcing the members of the IFFOR board as well as initial members of its Policy Council.

Board members include:

Stuart Lawley – CEO of ICM Registry, which is running .xxx
Clyde Beattie – CEO of Yorkland Investment Corp
Sebastien Bachollet, CEO of BBS Consulting and a member of the Board of Directors of ICANN

Policy Council members include:

Fred Cate – Professor of Law at the Indiana University School of Law-Bloomington and director of the Indiana University Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research

Bob Corn-Revere, Partner at Davis Wright Tremain

Nadine Strossen – Served as president of ACLU from 1991 through 2008

Five more Policy Council members will be disclosed within the next couple months.
