ICANN Board Vote Signals Era of Censorship in Domain Names by Robin Gross
The ICANN Meeting in Lisbon last week ended with an important vote by the ICANN Board of Directors on the application to create a new top level domain “.XXX”. On 30 March 2007 the ICANN Board voted 9-5 to block the introduction of the new .XXX domain name space for non-technical reasons. This vote has important implications in the larger debate at ICANN to set the general policy over the introduction of new top level domains.
