Is ICANN XXX Crazy?

Vaunted and august Internet governing body ICANN seems to have its feathers in a knot over the latest TLD trying to make it to the Show as a top level domain. Avid domain speculators and adult name domain owners are watching the latest reports to determine which way the metronome is leaning. The ICANN  “relaxation” of top level domain application rules may prove too much for some online groups.

The triple X connotations are obvious to anyone over ten years old, so the ICANN group has its hands full trying to contain web possibilities, Many career domainers can’t believe the staid ICANN body  approved a commercial entity that will legitimize and focus pornography and be viewed as a negative force on line for misogyny, the rights of women, and ongoing freedom of the press issues.

ICANN isn’t completely sold on .xxx yet. The group must first conduct  due diligence  of applicant ICM’s business plan for the domain.  The ICANN board will then review the contract proposed for the operation of the .xxx domain. The issue will most probably go to ICANN’s Governmental Advisory Committee, next scheduled to meet in December in Colombia.

If ICM gets impatient they can talk to the other derby losers for the ICANN TLD apply,-pay-and-wait process. Remember those dot-kids and other domain rejections ICANN so astutely rendered judgement on? Maybe ICANN may realize they were wrong about those, too.
