ICANN has put forth what might become the next version of GoDaddy's .xxx registry agreement, marking a departure from its current "sponsored" status. This move could significantly alter GoDaddy's ICANN fees and implement the most stringent child-protection measures across any generic top-level domain (gTLD).

GoDaddy is coming out with an initiative to eliminate what the registry considers unnecessary complexities from the .xxx domain agreement. At the heart of GoDaddy’s proposal is the desire to terminate its association with the IFFOR, the sponsor for the .xxx domain.
