ICANN & Sex

ICANN is back with their proposal to allow sex sites to utilize the .xxx domain name according to The New York Times.  Prior iterations of the proposal were attacked by the right wing for creating greater access and visibility to the robust online sex industy. 

According to the article, part of the uncertainty about the idea stems from varying laws around the world with respect to online pornography.  In the event that the proposal moves forward the .xxx Registrar would need to work with the adult content industry to come up with guidelines and strategies to reduce the prevalence or possibilty of child pornography.

The chances of the .xxx domain name being approved are still uncertain.
