ICANN rejects .xxx

The Register notes the board meeting was unusual as it was usually held behind closed doors with debate raging “largely around the phony issue of whether a .xxx domain would put ICANN in the content regulation business, when rejecting the domain is itself a content regulation decision.” Dissenters to the decision highlighted in part that “what ICANN really needs is a truly content-neutral TLD approval process, one with clear standards that apply equally for all TLD applicants.”
