Original Public Comment: Proposed Renewal of the Registry Agreement for the .XXX top-level domain (TLD)
Summary of Submission

Thanks to ICANN for opening the Public Comment process in relation to the .XXX renewal agreement. The participation of all stakeholders and the wider community is at the heart of the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance. I am grateful for the opportunity to point out that:

ICANN should remain committed to combating Domain Name System (DNS) abuse, for which the obligations from the 2024 Global Amendment to the Base RA (registries should take reasonable and appropriate action to stop or otherwise disrupt DNS abuse) are relevant. I am in favour of considering these provisions in the renewal.

I suggest conducting a thorough human rights impact assessment and risk assessment of the proposed .XXX renewal agreement, considering the potential implications for freedom of expression, privacy, child protection, and other fundamental rights. So far, GAC did not find that porn, .adult and .sex  require any additional safeguards, as stated by GoDaddy Registry. It should be evaluated if this is the current situation and if additional measures and safeguards should be taken regarding .XXX.
