U.S. Commerce Department Scuttles .XXX TLD Proposal (Again)

Via OUT-LAW.com.

Plans to approve the creation of a controversial .xxx top-level domain (TLD) at an ongoing meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in New Zealand have been dashed, according to reports.

United Press International says that the US Commerce Department has raised objections to the domain, expressing concerns about the mechanisms for running the domain put forward by the domain’s proposed operator, ICM Registry. The Dominion Post first reported the story.
