Last day to apply for .xxx Sunrise registrations
Today is the (extended) last day to apply for .xxx Sunrise registrations, to prevent other parties from later registering a domain name with your trademark in it. More information here. I don’t think it’s been definitively decided whether the UDRP will apply to .xxx domains or whether the URS (“rapid suspension”) system will be in place; but that’s a minor detail when you can go ahead and protect your brand right now. (Also, if anyone has any definitive answers on that, let me know and I’ll update here.)
Update: UDRP does apply and URS doesn’t. Thanks to Kevin Murphy (@DomainIncite) for reminding me!
