ICANN: No Hints On .XXX
One of the most anticipated announcements to come out of ICANN's Lisbon meeting may have to wait until the end of the week. ICANN's board will meet Friday to decide the fate of a proposed .xxx ending for Web addresses that publish pornography, ICANN President Paul Twomey told reporters on a Monday teleconference.
The board is divided and he is uncertain how it will rule. Twomey said the issue has been "clearly controversial and clearly polarizing" within the Internet community and the degree of feedback has been "extensive" and overwhelmingly unsupportive of the virtual red-light district.
Board members are still in "active consultation" on the topic that Twomey characterized as "the most excitement we've had at an ICANN board meeting in a little while."
