Web watchdog takes on porn again.

Australasian Business Intelligence, January, 2007

Jan 07, 2007 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- A proposal to use a special domain name for pornographic web sites will be reconsidered. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) rejected a proposal for the ".xxx" domain name in May 2006. However, in early January 2007, it issued a new proposal for public comment. The domain name's use would be voluntary, but web sites that chose it would be subject to new terms. The ICM Registry would have to organise the monitoring of web sites to ensure compliance.
