===IFFOR===

In November, 2011, Mr. Lawley stepped down as Chairman of the [[International Foundation For Online Responsibility]], or IFFOR. The organization was the sponsoring organization required for the 2004 organizations applying for [[SLD|sponsored top level domains]]. The organization was supposed to be independent, and many saw an inherent conflict of interest that Stuart Lawley was the leader of both the [[registry]] and the sponsoring organization. ICM Registry will still hold a seat on the IFFOR, but the chairmanship has been passed onto [[Clyde Beattie]], former Chair of the Canadian [[ccTLD]] manager, [[CIRA]].<ref>[http://domainincite.com/lawley-quits-as-xxx-sponsor-chairman/ Lawley quits as xxx sponsor chairman, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
