Source: [url]http://www.numerama.com/magazine/18318-l-icann-approuve-la-creation-du-xxx-maj.html[/url] (french) Here's a quickly translated summary: [release]The ICANN board has approved the creation of a .xxx top level domain, which will be used for pornographic content. It is the first time in the history of ICANN that a TLD is made for an industry / type of service in particular. If the arrival of such a TLD divides the members of the board, it also does not unite the pornography industry. The FSC (Free Speech Coalition) states that it will create a lot of problems, such as higher fees for webmasters, easier censorship in repressive states/countries, and a TLD that is way too easily recognizable by minors. ICM Registry, the company that requested the domain extension, might also gain too much power from the move. An opinion with which the ICM Registry CEO does not agree with: in December, he stated that "a TLD made exclusively for adult entertainment will give us more control over the content, and for every website added to the list, we will give out $10 to child safety initiatives", while also telling us that they would be selling the domain names for $60. On the political side, the creation of a domain extension allows the ICANN to prove its independence from the U.S. government. Neither the P.R. department of the Chamber of Commerce nor The White House have made any comments on the news so far.[/release] [url]http://www.icann.org/[/url] [quote]ICANN's Silicon Valley meeting, held at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, concluded [B]18 March[/B] with the public meeting of its Board of Directors. The ICANN community handled a wide array of Internet policy issues, including: • ICANN's next public meeting will be held in Singapore, June 2011. • The Board intends to complete the process for final approval of the New gTLD implementation program at an extraordinary meeting of the ICANN Board to be held on Monday, 20 June 2011, at the ICANN public meeting in Singapore. • The Board endorsed all 27 of the recommendations made by the Accountability and Transparency Review Team, and requested ICANN Staff to prepare implementation plans. • The period for accepting public comments about the process for creating new GNSO constituencies was extended. [B]• The Board supported entering into a Registry Agreement with ICM, approving .XXX as a new top-level domain.[/B] For details (and decisions on many other topics), refer to the Board resolutions.[/quote]

Yes!

Well this should help sort out the porn websites from nice and friendly regular websites. How wonderful. Though it'll be a bitch to go on them when someone else can read your browsing history.
:q:
.fap
Facepunch.xxx incoming.
[url]www.zzz.xxx[/url]
I personally think every TLD apart from .com is wrong and messy, If I see a site called "www.porn.com" I'd rather go there than to "www.porn.xxx"

[QUOTE=Theorisable;28674089]I personally think every TLD apart from .com is wrong and messy, If I see a site called "www.porn.com" I'd rather go there than to "www.porn.xxx"[/QUOTE] What would be the point of TLDs if there was only com?
was about time, this was under discussion for a long time...
Question. Isn't .gov a TLD for an industry/service specifically? Or doesn't a government fit their description
They can take our rights, but they cannae take our porn. Hopefully there still might be some porn sites that don't use the .xxx domain. Nonetheless, this is pretty much the work of Fascist Christian Soccer Mom Illuminati.
Even though the article is new, this is extremely late. [img]http://grab.by/grabs/37242c7d0bd4c8be5ea37d39229ca7c6.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;28673875]I think something's wrong when I can picture American ISPs doing that without batting an eyelid[/QUOTE] to be honest i'd expect european domains to do it sooner since a lot of western european nations are actually not to cool with porn, wasn't it the UK that put a ban on pornography or something? [editline]18th March 2011[/editline] or at least planned/tried to
this is incredibly sexy
"problems, such as ... and a TLD that is way too easily recognizable by minors" yeah "hey jerry, this site links to 'bigbootysluts.com'! I have no idea whats in there!" "hey jerry, this site links to 'bigbootysluts.xxx'! ITS TOTALLY PORN" realistic
Whoever buys the porn.xxx domain then sells it will be a rich man.
