Further to our recent newsflash on ICM Registry’s announcement that it has added more rights to the eligibility criteria which can be used to secure an AdultBlock, the service that allows the blocking of terms under the new gTLDs .PORN, .SEX, .ADULT and .XXX, the registry has also announced that it is running a promotion on registrations of single-year AdultBlock and AdultBlock+ products.
From 1 June to 31 October 2021, every single-year AdultBlock or AdultBlock+ product registered will have its initial expiration extended until 1 December 2022. For example, if an AdultBlock/AdultBlock+ is registered on 5 September 2021 for one year, the expiry date of this block will be updated from 5 September 2022 to 1 December 2022.
The promotion does not include renewals or multi-year registrations.
