This will still be a lot since people are used to paying $10 for domains and .xxx will be $60. I guess the challenge will be the costs/rules of anything being contested. Verizon.xxx is easy, but when someone comes along with Jessica.xxx and has some sort of trademark for "Jessica". Stuart -

We are not sure of the exact fee yet as we are running the numbers, now we have the go-ahead, in conjunction with a couple of alternative trademark validation specialists who we met with in Brussels who have already done this kind of thing. Out of interest how much do you think it should be? we have said that the non adult industry trademark protections will be done on a cost recovery basis.

Who determines if it's a valid trademark or not? @ Stuart – interesting, what is the one time fee? Who determines if it’s a valid trademark or not?

With regard to the comments about defensive registrations some people clearly haven't read the application or draft contract. Non adult industry Trademark holders can apply during the launch phase to have their names/marks effectively permanently removed from the registry for the payment of a low, one-time fee. The IPC within ICANN are very satisfied with our solution and we worked closely with them in developing the plan. They would have been happy, I believe , if our approach had been adopted in the last DAG4 for the new round of gTLDs.
