Earn Money with Recyclix and get 20 Euro free

BASIC TUTORIAL

SIGNING UP

As a limited promotional tool, we are giving a sign up gift of 20€ to each new member. This bonus should be used to purchase your first raw material and will give you 100kg of waste to start your recycling process.

EARNING WITH RECYCLIX

JOIN NOW

If you do not invest your own funds and just use your 20€ bonus, it will take a few complete cycles to generate enough profit to make a successful withdrawal as the minimum is 20 euros.

However, if for example you have 100€ of waste (500kg). After three weeks you will have Regrind material worth €200 (because the sale price for regrind is 0.40/kg).

If you click Recycle, you get 6% of waste purchase amount (your initial 100€) as per guidelines and that is 6€ of profit.

After another two weeks you will have Granules worth 300€ (500 kg x .60/kg).

You click RESTART, and you get 8% of the difference between granules selling price and regrind selling price. In this case, 8% of 100€ (300 minus 200). This comes out to 8€ of profit.

So 6€ and 8€ are profits you keep when you keep recycling over and over without selling goods outright. The total gain is 14€ per 5-week cycle.

The number of full recycling cycles is not limited. In order to transfer your accumulated profit to your account balance, please click on RECYCLE button after the completion of the cycle. Then the process begins again with the same volume of waste material you initially had.

On the other hand, if you sell your goods, you will receive the 25% share of the selling price. You will not get the full value of your goods because the revenue is shared between you (the investor) and us and other partners to cover company overhead and production expenses.

So the 300€ of granules would turn to 75€ of cashout when you sell them. You will also get the 6€ you earned for the first 3-week period of the cycle. However, you will NOT get the 8€ for the final 2-week period because that is an incentive only for people who choose to continue recycling. In total, you will get 81€ if you sell outright, and that's actually less than you initially had which was 100€. There is no mistake here.

But that is why we of course advise that it makes business sense to take out all of your funds and sell goods ONLY IF you have increased your revenue share beforehand by buying equipment shares to bring up your revenue split share at least 33% to make selling of goods turn a profit. You can only buy equipment shares, however, if you have at least 5,000 of waste to begin with. If you have less than this, you can only turn a profit by keeping your goods intact and recycling continuously, only taking the 6% and 8% profit accordingly.

MAXIMIZING EARNINGS

There are of course ways to boost your revenue. Below are three ways you can maximize your earnings:

1. Deposit funds into your account to buy a larger volume of waste. The larger amount of waste you are processing, the higher the profits will be. We accept deposits through wire transfer , Bitcoins, and bank cards with 3d authentication enabled. The minimum deposit amount is 20 EUR. The maximum one-time deposit via credit cards is capped at 250 EUR, while Bitcoins and wire transfer deposits are not limited.

Deposits will be reflected on your account as soon as it arrives into our own bank account which can take 1-3 business days, depending on bank schedule. We can also credit funds only when the billing department is open (weekdays, 10am-5pm Warsaw time).

2. Purchase unit shares in equipment used in the recycling process, but ONLY AFTER you have reached your quota of 5,000 kg recycling material. By purchasing available shares in the recycling equipment, you will be able to boost your profit from 14% for the entire recycling cycle up to 50% upon sale of the granules, depending on the shares you buy. Funds spent on purchase of the production facilities are non-refundable since they give you unlimited benefits for receiving higher profits. More details about each equipment type and how it can boost your revenue share is available on the Equipment Units page here https://recyclix.com/units/

3. Invite others to join Recyclix and get a commission. Referral commissions are earnings you get as a reward for every new member who signs up using your unique partner code found on the link on your members area under the partners tab. The commission only applies to Active memebrs, meaning those that deposited funds into their accounts. The bonus EUR 20 we are giving away to new members as a promotion is not counted. You can earn commissions from downlines up to 4 levels (10% for 1st level partners, 3% for second, 2% for third and 1% for fourth level). Commissions are released after 7 days on hold.

Please note that ideally we prefer that members do not cross-refer or stack their accounts as this might cause them to be flagged by our security system as possible auto or bot registrations. We also do not allow more than one account per person. If there will be multiple accounts opened under each other from the same IP, their withdrawal method would be limited to bank transfer only, and different bank details shall have to be provided to validate each account holder as a separate entity. You also cannot use the same credit card to deposit funds into different accounts.

WITHDRAWAL OF PROFITS

You can withdraw from your balance into your Paypal account, Bitcoin wallet, or a SEPA bank account. The minimum withdrawal amount is 20€. In order to place a payout request, please click on your balance button at the upper right corner of your member’s area page, indicate the necessary payout amount, choose the payout method, and specify all necessary information about the payee.

Payout requests are processed on business days during working hours, from 10 AM to 5PM, Warsaw time. All Bitcoin payments are performed automatically, Paypal requests are processed the same day, and bank transfers are done on business days only.

At the moment, purchasing waste or equipment unit shares directly from your account balance is not yet possible. You will have to withdraw first and then make a new deposit.

TRANSACTION HISTORY

We have enabled a page where you can monitor your financial transactions and profits in real time on . Here you can see historical data on your Deposit, Withdrawal, Purchase, Sell, Profit, and Referral to make it easier for you to keep track of your account activities.

How to Increase Web Traffic Using News and Observer Classified Ads

News and Observer Classified Ads are a hidden gem that most seo experts never talk about. You see just like ehow, news and observer classified ads sites get a lot of attention from search engine robots. The benefits of using news and observer classified ads to increase web traffic to your site or articles can be amazing. In this article I will briefly describe a few tricks and hints to using classified advertising and how news and observer classified ads can get you top ranking in search results overnight.

1

To use news and observer classified ads for classified advertising the first thing I want you to understand is this article deals solely with there online versions. Classified advertising online works to your benefit because you're able to backlink. This is great because classified advertising sites are scanned daily by search robots for new stories that are automatically indexed. To use this method of gaining top ranking overnight simply follow the additional steps below.

2

You need to first locate a good classified advertising site or simply just use news and observer sites.

3

In the subject or title line type in the name of your article or website page title you'll be using the classified advertising for.

4

Next in the ads body text for the classified advertisement input the intro to your article or particular webpage description.

5

Now underneath the intro or description place a link to your site or article. It is always a good idea when using classified advertising to input a clickable text link instead of a long address leading to your info. This way as the reader of your classified advertisement reaches the end of the text they are not thrown off by a long funky looking link. Instead it should just say 'Click Here To Read More' and when they do, then there taken to your complete information away from the classified advertisement.

6

In closing this article on classified advertising is not for the novice writer or site owner. You must first understand what people are looking for and also possess the ability to keyword for classified advertising to work fully for you. This method of classified advertising should not be used to just place an ad that says 'Classified Advertising' instead it should be used for an ad that says 'How to Increase Web Traffic Using News and Observer Classified Ads'. This is a subject people are looking for specifically and will be indexed in search engines immediately not the words 'Classified Advertising' which returns over a billion results.

Lastly do a bit of research to find the best classified advertising site that works for your needs. Most of them are free but some may cost a couple dollars yet the ads run for 30 to 45 days so it's worth it in the end to use classified advertising to make money while increasing traffic to your info.

Rhyme Is Good, Free Verse Is Bad... Right?

Everywhere you look today in the music industry, you see plenty of songs that follow one of many very simple and basic rhyming or verse/chorus patterns. Sometimes any of these songs will stick out better than the rest. And it has nothing to do with the pattern it was written in but rather the way the words were written and used together. However, most of the time artists who are simply looking to hit it big stick to "I Find you -- You're so blue -- Can't we be -- By the sea," and other preverbial crap like that.

I've found over the last year that my writing style has changed drastically. I started off with some of the basic verse/chorus schemes that you'll see. But as I realized the songs I was writing stunk, I started changing. The reason nothing I was doing seemed right was because it wasn't as real and powerful as it can be. Outlines to which you base your song off of are what can hold back the best lines in music. I began writing free-verse ever since then. Free verse writing only has a name, no outline. It is exactly what the name says as well. The verses are put freely into the song wherever the author so chooses. Bridges are used but they're not typical bridges because they don't always "bridge" you into the chorus or the pre-chorus. What they serve instead as a way to change the flow of the song in a way where everything still sounds correct and makes sense. I've benefited greatly from free-verse writing over the past few months.

Instead of writing lyrical music, you write musical poetry in free-verse. At least that's how it's seemed in my expirience. You can say alot of complex, intriguing things when there's no limit on how long your verse lines can be. The other thing that I've found to be quite good about free-verse is that ever line, doesn't have the same amount syllables or words. Syllables go from few to many in the same verse. This can cause problems sometimes, but if the music you've composed to go with it fits, it can be some of the very best, original stuff you'll ever hear. One of the problems I have with the basic writing styles of today is you are very often able to figure out what's coming next. You can sometimes know the words of a song as you listen to it without ever having heard the song before.

I've also found that alot of people have shown much dislike towards free-verse writing. They'll say that it's because it doesn't make sense or it's not formed enough. But that's the beauty of FR writing. I think there are times when people take a dislike for that kind of writing because they can't picture the words being sung, or the music being played when they look at the words on paper. This is something I've heard a few times. It's all a preference thing I suppose, but wouldn't you like people to hear you play your song for the first time and just listen to it? Rather than have them be able to figure out the last line of every verse and chorus in your song.

To end it off, the basic point of this article is hopefully open up some people to this style of writing and to see how many people feel the same way about this "unorthodox" style of writing. And you know what?? I didn't mention a single artist in this entire piece... how about that?

Making Use Of MIDI

The standard MIDI file; an annoying caricature of a song that you know you’ve heard before on the radio that plays behind a web page as an added dimension to attract the attention of your senses, right? Maybe. There are tons of them on the Net. We’ve all heard them at one time or another. Most cellular phone ring tones are created through MIDI these days as well. We may shrug them off as being cheesy, exaggerated or otherwise unworthy, but have we really stopped to think about them? Having one of these files in our possession can be a great asset if it was arranged and sequenced well.

Let’s start by examining the technical attributes of this medium. Many individuals believe that the MIDI system (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) somehow carries audio information, like MP3 or WAV files when transferred between users. This is not the case at all. In fact, the data recorded and saved in the Standard MIDI file is simply information about what musical notes were played at what time, how loudly they occurred, when they were released and many other parameters. Think of this information transfer as a mechanical player piano where the paper passing through the machinery contains holes that strategically cause certain notes to be played at the right times. The paper can’t provide any sound without the presence of the machinery. By the same token, MIDI data can make no sound without a synthesizer to play it back. In our personal computers, the synthesizer most commonly resides on the sound card. It may be in a software application as well. When a MIDI file is received, the synthesizer “reads” the set of instructions in real time and plays sounds that exist in its memory (known as ROM). These sounds vary widely in quality. When you hear MIDI playback that sounds “cheesy”, the sounds in the synthesizer are most likely not the best of quality. (of course, this is always a matter of opinion). There are professional stand-alone synthesizers that make instrument sounds that are extremely lifelike.

Now that we understand this point, it’s easy to see why MIDI files are used frequently on the Internet. They are small; very small! One minute of uncompressed audio takes up about 10 MB (megabytes) on average. The average size of a one-minute MP3 file is only 1 MB. Furthermore, the average size of a 3-minute MIDI file is only about 50 KB (kilobytes). As a benchmark to give these numbers some meaning, a typical audio CD can hold 700 MB worth of information. MIDI files are like small pieces of sheet muxic that are passed from a user, through a medium to a synthesizer. Then, upon receipt of the “score”, the synth performs the parts of all instruments in the virtual orchestra. So wouldn’t it be nice if you could interpret this technical language and be able to perform the parts on your own instrument? You can, and you don’t have to be a genius or a computer programmer! You just have to have a few tools to start with.

MIDI files originate in a relm that we call a sequencer. This can be an elaborate piece of hardware or a simple piece of software, or anything in between. A musician or a programmer performs each individual part on an instrument that can “speak” the language of MIDI. This is most commonly a keyboard because it is easy to record the performance electromechanically. Guitars, drum sets and even woodwind instruments that are specially outfitted can also achieve this. The sequencer platform runs like a multi-track tape recorder in some respects. The “language” of MIDI allows for 16 of such tracks, each played by a different instrument sound at a different stage of the process. Information to govern the volume, left-to-right balance, pitch slide and many other parameters can be added for each track. Once the “mix’ sounds pleasing to the user, this information can be packaged as a standard MIDI file and sent to another user. The receiving user can open this file in any sequencer and literally see all the information and how it was recorded. They can amend any of it with ease. The data that appears is usually in the form of lines, dots and dashes, but many sequencers can display the data as music notation on a set of staves. This display will be friendly and familiar to a lot of musicians. Other musicians that never learned to read notation feel at home “reading” the dots and dashes. Aspiring audio engineers like myself can listen to any combination of the parts at a time and explore how they fit together. One can also reassign a part to another instrument sound to further experiment with the overall composition.

In order to begin being creative with these aspects, one will need a sequencer of some kind. Applications such as Stienburg’s Cubase, Cakewalk’s Sonar, MOTU’s Freestyle are great ways to start learning. Apple’s Logic and MOTU’s Digital Performer are among the more advanced programs. These are only a few of the options out there today. Your “studio” should also be outfitted with a controller keyboard if you want to get serious about creating MIDI songs. (For this, your sound card must have a proper MIDI input connector). It’s not that hard to be on your way!

This “language’ leaves lots of room for creativity in the formative stage of a composition. It’s also a great educational tool for any musician curious about how their favorite song is built. I would encourage anyone who is somewhat musically inclined to take a look at the possibilities.

How To Be An Original Songwriter

Let me just start off by saying that if the reason you play guitar and write songs and started a band is because you saw Good Charlotte, or Sum 41 play and you thought, "Oh I wanna be just like them", then this article is not for you. It's shocking how many Sum 41 or Good Charlotte bands there are around today. Usually a few teenagers that just started playing guitar. Soon after they write their songs and they sound okay and well put together and everything and hey people may even enjoy hearing them. But they aren't original at all? Now is this a bad thing? No its not, you don't have to be original if thats not what your going for. However if you truly wanna touch other people with your music or make a big impact with it you have to be doing and saying something new. Don't follow anyone else, but yourself. Here are some tips I think are useful for getting that original sound.

1. Listen to a wide variety of bands. Go out and look for other music and for the love of God don't go to a Walmart and just buy every popular cd off the rack. Go to a local rare record shop that has pretty much any indie band that has ever exsisted or take a look at All Music Guide and look for some highly rated influencial indie bands of the past. Buy them! Listen to them! Whatever. Buy some records that maybe have barely sold at all. Some of them are quite good. Just because a band isn't popular doesn't mean they aren't good. Branch out on what you listen to and widen the music catalog that you own.

2. This is going to sound weird but, don't learn a lot of covers. This one is probably going to be conterversial for some who read this but the more cover songs you know the less original your own work is going to be. If you just learned a song from a band you like more often then not the next song you write is gonna try and sound like or close to that song. Hendrix, Lennon, Cobain, none of these people were self taught and had very few if not none lessons from professionals. Play the guitar and learn it the way you want to. Don't ever let another guitar player tell you, "thats not the way I do it, you're suppose to do it this way."

3. Forget about rules. Since when did rock n roll have rules anyway? If you don't wanna learn chords, then don't. If you don't wanna have the typical bass, guitar, drums, singer in your band then don't. Have a keyboard player, or a cello, anything you can think of. These are just examples you don't have to do any of this because then you would be following what I told you to do. Just forget about it all. Play how you wanna play and don't care about what other bands or people think.

4. Experience life. This I find to be the most important one for me, especially in the lyrical department. Go out and do stuff, experience life, get into trouble if you need to, anything that tickles your funny bone. If you don't experience life then what do you have to write about? Nothing, because you weren't there. Lyrics and songs in general are so much more emotional if the artist or artists actually experienced some of it in some form or another. If something painful happens in your life, write about it. Everyone can relate to songs about pain. Although it may hurt sometimes in the long run consider it a blessing if you get a good song from it.

5. Play around with all your instruments. This one is for the music. If you have written song after song in normal standard tuning, then change it up. Or have an acoustic song, or maybe a block of noise. Black Flag was pure noise at times, but were they influencial? Yes.

6. Less is more. The most influencial bands and artists of all time realized this. Don't try and be Eddie Van Halen none of us are. Be yourself and keep it simple, you don't need to have a million changes in your songs. Ramones, Nirvana, The Sex Pistols, The Beatles (early stuff anyway) all had simple songs and then some evolved from there. Let the songs get more complex as your skill level improves, and once you are a master at your guitar don't be afraid to go back to the basics. When it all comes down to it melody is everything, no matter how the song is structured or if it is complex or not. People are always drawn to a good melody.

7. "No one I think is in my tree/ I mean it must be high or low", are lyrics from the Beatles "Strawberry Fields" which is a perfect example of #7. Don't feel you have to make sense with any of your lyrics. Don't even feel you have to rhyme. Just do what you want. And change it up, use different rhyme schemes and never try to repeat yourself, keep evolving and trying something new. Lyrics are an afterthought, if it has a great melody they don't matter. Trust what you write and always try and rewrite lyrics or shift theses lyrics to this song if you think that would work better but don't tell a story. Every song it seems tries to tell a story. Forget telling a story. Sing us a song your the Piano Man, just your tune and make up words to get some original and out of the blue thoughts. Remember the music always comes first anyway so don't even spend a lot of time on lyrics if you don't wanna. Be spacey, be ironic, be whimsical, and so on. Just don't be cliche. I hate that word by the way. All I here on the radio today is songs about the same thing. How original! Thats why people think Cobain is a God. Because he was original and new and fresh and exactly what we all needed. Keep in mind most original and influencial artists and bands don't recieve credit or become popular while they are around usually. But being respected later on by followers is just as sweet! Every concert the Ramones played, a couple of kids went home and started a band.

Tips On Writing Song

If you are like most songwriters you came to lyric writing through the gateway of poetry. After all, a song is just a poem set to music, right? Wrong! Although poetry and lyric writing share similar aspects they each have their own separate and unique style. So, with that in mind let?s take a look at some lyric writing techniques and hopefully gain a basic understanding of the craft.

First, let?s take a look at basic song structure and how a song is written. The first song structure we will look at is the verse/chorus/verse format. This is the easiest and most basic song structure, with both verses played once and the chorus repeated at least three times. The next song structure is the verse/chorus/verse/bridge. This is the same as the verse/chorus/format but with a bridge added that is rhythmically and lyrically different to add that extra punch. Although there are other song structures these two dominate today?s popular music.

Now that we have an understanding of the most popular song structures let?s take a look at the internal structure of the verse, chorus and bridge. Many songwriters use a guitar or piano and write the lyrics in conjunction with the music. However, if you are not a musician or you are away from your instrument you can still write rhythmic lyrics. The key is to use the same rhyming and syllable pattern in each verse. The chorus can use a different pattern because it contains the hook. The hook is the part of a song people will remember. Think about it, when you hear a great song for the first time what do you walk away humming? The chorus. Why, because it contains the hook. But we?ll discuss the hook later right now let?s examine the verse.

Every song has approximately three minutes to tell a story, and each line has to be precise and to the point. So, time and space limitations combined with the fact that the lyrics have to be set to music are precisely why most writers use the tried and true formula. There are three popular rhyming patterns. The first one is the easiest. It looks like this A/A/A/A now what does that mean? Every line rhymes with itself. Example: The big fat dog/ sat on a log/He looked like a slob/ but that?s his job./ O.K., I won?t win a Grammy for these lyrics but you get the idea. This kind of rhyming pattern is boring and predictable, but writers still use it.

The second rhyming pattern is the A/B/A/B this pattern rhymes every other line. Example: /I?ve seen my life/ through the pages of time/and though I?ve had strife/Well it?s truly divine./ The third pattern rhymes the second and fourth lines. It looks like this A/B/C/B Example: / Jessie Franklin was a young man / in the spring of forty one./ He was called to serve his country/through the barrel of a gun./ These rhyming patterns are used throughout all of today?s popular music. Listen to your favorite CD and see if you can identify some of these them.

The next consideration when writing lyrics is the number of syllables you use. Each verse should have the same amount of syllables. For example, if the first line has eight syllables, the second and third line have seven and the fourth eight. Then your second verse should have exactly the same number of syllables in each line as the first. There are no hard and fast rules as to how many syllables you use in each line, but they should be the same in each verse.

Now that we have covered song structure, lyric structure and syllable structure let?s look at the chorus and the bridge. As I stated earlier the chorus contains the hook. The hook is the part of the song that has a catchy phrase and melody. The hook of a chorus should be repeated more than once throughout the chorus and say something other than the ordinary. Listening to your favorite songs on the radio will teach you more about the hook line than any article on the subject. If you choose to use a bridge it should be totally different from the chorus and verse in both rhyme and rhythm.

I have given you a basic overview on songwriting, but like anything else rules are made to be broken. After you have written a song or two experiment within the rules, be creative and have fun. After all, if it isn?t fun why do it? Life is hard enough without adding more to it. But, if you find yourself enjoying the craft of songwriting then go to your local library and check out some books on the subject. Learn all you can. Who knows maybe you?ll write the next number one hit?

ICANN Approval of ICM Registry Application for .XXX

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – The group in charge of Internet addresses on Friday opened the door for websites ending with ".xxx" but delayed deciding whether to open the floodgates for other suffixes.

The non-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) board voted to approve a petition to add .xxx to the list of "generic top level domains," those endings that include .com, .net, and .org.

However, resolutions considered by the board as its annual public meeting ended in San Francisco did not include whether to approve guidelines that would clear the way for essentially any Internet address endings.

"We think we are pretty close to a workable policy," ICANN board chairman Peter Dengate Thrush told AFP. "It's all part of a mission to create competition, diversity and choice."

The ICANN board scheduled a special meeting in Singapore on June 20 to vote on confirming a guide book outlining the path aspiring domain operators would need to follow to use a suffix of their choosing.

In a potential sign of how the vote will turn out, ICANN has a celebration party planned for two days after the vote.

"We have come up with a program to close the process," Thrush told AFP after the board meeting in San Francisco.

"The major points left are not show-stopping questions of principle like a matter of a veto would have been if it had been suggested."

ICANN has spent years crafting a guide for approving applications for any suggested top level domains. Currently, the agency individually endorses domain name petitions.

The process encountered controversy after feedback in a government action committee included interest by the United States in veto power to preclude the creation of top level domains such as .gay that might be blocked in some countries.

The concern evidently was that countries blocking entire domains could lead to a balkanization of the Internet. The veto option was never proposed to the ICANN board by the government action committee, according to Thrush.

"It was a suggestion by one government that was never picked up by the others," he told AFP. "It never got out of the gossip phase."

Thrush dismissed the worry, reasoning that the adult content at issue is on the Internet regardless of whether a website address ends in .gay or one of the existing terms.

"The issue is the content, which is exactly the same," Thrush said. "It doesn't change if a website becomes .gay."

The few points left to be addressed include creating an "early warning system" to alert governments to new Internet address suffixes.

The ICANN board on Friday did approve a petition to operate an .xxx domain. The request had been rejected about five years ago and was reconsidered after an appeal.

Board member Rita Rodin Johnston prefaced her "yes" vote by quoting a US expression "caught between a rock and a hard place."

"I have never felt this so poignantly as with this .xxx decision," Johnston said.

Leaders of a Free Speech Coalition adult industry trade association had protested outside the ICANN meeting in opposition to creating a .xxx domain.

Studios were afraid they would be gouged for addresses in the domain to be operated by a privately-owned ICM Registry.

Another fear was that governments might create Internet versions of red light districts by forcing porn websites into a .xxx neighborhood that could then be monitored or blocked.

It is not mandatory for adult websites to use .xxx addresses, but studios will be under pressure to take up residence there to protect trademarks and avoid confusing people looking for them on the Internet.

"We are disappointed but we are not surprised by the ICANN board's decision," said FSC executive director Diane Duke. "They have disregarded overwhelming outpouring of opposition from the adult entertainment industry."

The FSC said it plans to fight to undo the decision and will advise studios not to get .xxx website addresses.

From ICANN :

Whereas, on 25 June 2010, the ICANN Board, after substantial public comment was received on the process options available to ICANN to consider the Independent Review Panel's Declaration of 19 February 2010, the Board accepted (in part) the findings of the Panel. The Board then directed staff "to conduct expedited due diligence to ensure that: (1) the ICM Application is still current; and (2) there have been no changes in ICM's qualifications."

Whereas, ICANN staff performed the required due diligence, that showed that the ICM Application remains current and that there have been no negative changes in ICM's qualifications.

Whereas, ICM provided ICANN with a new proposed registry agreement that included additional provisions, requirements and safeguards to address the issues that the GAC and other community members had raised with respect to the previously proposed agreement.

Whereas, the proposed registry agreement and due diligence materials were posted for public comment. Over 700 comments were received, though few of the comments addressed the terms of the registry agreement. No changes to the registry agreement are recommended in response to the comments.

Whereas, on 10 December 2010, the Board agreed with an assessment that entering into the proposed registry agreement would conflict with only three items of GAC advice and directed the staff to communicate this information to the GAC.

Whereas, on 10 December 2010, the Board further determined that it intends to enter into a registry agreement with ICM Registry for the .XXX sTLD, subject to GAC consultation and advice, and thereby invoked the consultation as provided for in ICANN Bylaws section Article XI, Section 2, Paragraph 1(j). See <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-10dec10-en.htm#4>.

Whereas, to facilitate the Bylaws consultation with the GAC, on 25 January 2011, the Board directed staff to forward a letter from the Board to the GAC clearly setting forth the Board's position on how the ICM proposed registry agreement meets items of GAC advice, and setting forth the items of GAC advice remaining for consultation. The letter was forwarded on 11 February 2011 and is available at <http://www.icann.org/en/correspondence/jeffrey-to-to-dryden-10feb11-en.pdf> [PDF, 236 KB].

Whereas, on 16 March 2011, the GAC forwarded a letter of the Board clarifying GAC advice on the ICM matter.

Whereas, the Board has carefully considered comments from the community and the GAC in making this decision, in furtherance of ICANN's mission.

Whereas, on 17 March 2011, the Board and the GAC completed a formal Bylaws consultation on those items for which entering the registry agreement might not be consistent with GAC advice.

Resolved (2011.03.18.23), the Board authorizes either the CEO or the General Counsel to execute the proposed registry agreement for the .XXX sTLD, in substantially the same form posted for public comment in August 2010.

Resolved (2011.03.18.24), the Board adopts and fully incorporates herein its Rationale for Approving Registry Agreement with ICM for .XXX sTLD <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/draft-icm-rationale-18mar11-en.pdf> [PDF, 221 KB] to support the entering into the proposed registry agreement.

Resolved (2011.03.18.25), the Board and the GAC have completed a good faith consultation under the ICANN Bylaws, Article XI, Section 2.j. As the Board and the GAC were not able to reach a mutually acceptable solution, pursuant to ICANN Bylaws, Article XI, Section 2.k, the Board incorporates and adopts as set forth in the Rationale the reasons why the GAC advice was not followed. The Board's statement is without prejudice to the rights or obligations of GAC members with regard to public policy issues falling within their responsibilities.
