Summary of Submission

The Registry made commitments in its original agreement that should be maintained, since those were designed to address specific concerns related to the .XXX registry, and were relied on by ICANN and the community in connection with the launch of .XXX. 

Removal of these commitments should follow the standard procedures, rather than through the renewal process being used here, which provides a lower standard than what is required by consensus policy. Specifically, these changes should have been undertaken pursuant to the Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP) as required by ICANN Consensus Policy.
