History
In 2005, the Bush Administration pressured ICANN not to adopt a .xxx rating on ideological grounds.[2]
On 18 March 2011,[3] the ICANN Board voted to approve the .xxx sTLD, which later went into operation on 15 April 2011.[4]
On 12 April 2012, the ICM Registry announced their applications for additional sTLDs .SEX, .PORN and .ADULT.[5][6]
