ICANN Again Postpones Decision on .xxx TLD
A Reuters newswire article by Andy Sullivan, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
The group that oversees Internet domain sites has again postponed a decision on a controversial ".xxx" domain for sex sites, the head of the organization said on Monday.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, had been expected at its quarterly meeting in Vancouver to approve or kill the domain, which would give pornographic Web sites their own online neighborhood.
But ICANN decided to delay a vote because some participants had not had enough time to review application materials, ICANN president Paul Twomey said on a conference call with reporters.
"It was impossible to get sufficient time for consideration by the Government Advisory Committee members and therefore the board, the chairman decided to postpone the consideration," Twomey said.
"Within the first quarter of next year is my expectation when it will come back up," he said.
