The Return of .XXX

In a January 5th release entitled, “ICANN Publishes Revised Proposed Agreement on .XXX,” the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers re-opened the .XXX debate.

I’m not going to rehash the arguments here, pro and con, over the .XXX TLD or the politics of the particular deal being put forth; but if you’re out of the loop, a search of XBIZ.com’s News and Article Archives, as well as our message boards, will offer plenty of perspectives on the subject.

Instead, I will compose and put forth my opinion to ICANN – something that I suggest you all do as well – and let the organization know where I stand on the subject; something that will be far more worthwhile than whining about it on webmaster boards…

You can download the Proposed ICM Registry Agreement for .XXX PDF for current details on the .XXX deal.

There is a Public Comment Forum where you can view comments. If you wish to add your own, send an email to: xxx-icm-agreement@icann.org.
