Post: ICANN Approves .xxx Domain for Adult Sites

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A spokesman for ICANN, which holds jurisdiction over top-level domains, confirmed the go-ahead.

249Email Print ICM Registry, the nonprofit organization that has been pushing to establish .xxx, will distribute it to porn sites. Even before approval, the site hosted a start-up plan pending the proposed domain's entry.

"In order to provide an orderly process for members of the registrant community and to use our resources effectively during this intervening period, ICM has decided to undertake the first phase of the Industry Reservation Period," the group's site said.

In June, ICANN's board of directors approved the top-level domain, which is the technical name for the .com, .xxx or .net part of a URL . It was sent to the next committee for approval.

In the past, ICM Registry has argued that the .xxx domain is beneficial to the public, because it indicates a clear signal that the domain contains pornography.

Well it seems that pornsites will slowly make the transition to .xxx sites. Maybe a Pr0nH*b.xxx link.

Tell me what you think

If you want XXX you can now buy it

No rule to force companies to do it.
The plan is to make it super easy to see what porn and what not. Along with making it easier to block porn sites.
End result less kids see it and sites which ain't meant to be blocked are blocked.

Been talked about for ages this....shocked they are doing it lol.
