ICANN Votes Against Porn Extension .xxx

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

ICANN Votes Against Porn Extension .xxxThe overseer of the Internet’s addressing system again rejects the creation of a “.xxx” top-level domain.

“I understand the reasoning behind rejecting this new extension. But i think in the bigger picture it would be easier to filter allot of porn and undesirable content away from children. It would very well allow us to keep underage people away from it. I don’t get why they would not pass it, then again I have to say ICANN is already screwed in the head after the RF incident.” - Comments by user IPsecure.

Between now and 31 March RegisterFly is required to unlock and provide all necessary Authinfo codes to allow domain name transfers to occur. Any and all registrants wishing to transfer away from RegisterFly during this period should be allowed to do so efficiently and expeditiously. ‘Terminating accreditation is the strongest measure ICANN is able to take against RegisterFly under its powers,’ Dr. Paul Twomey, President and CEO of ICANN said on March 17, 2007.”
