[ga] Plans For .xxx Domain For p0rn Scrapped

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 Finally! or not???  Has ICANN's board learned yet?  Again,
a suggestion for the ICANN board and staff.  Let the free and
open market determine what TLD's are wanted...

William Robinson writes "ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers) has once again scrapped the plan for a new internet
"domain" .xxx for pornography. Supporters of the .xxx address suffix
argued that it would have helped to protect children and others from
accidental exposure to internet pornography, particularly if stronger
filters were used to screen out explicit material from other internet
domains. Pressure from conservative Christian groups in the US, which
has
a veto over the internet addressing system, led the organization last
year to put off introducing a new ".xxx" domain for pornography on the
internet. That drew international complaints that the US exercised too
much power over the internet and added to a European-backed movement to
shift control of the online medium to an international group."
