Submission + - New vote on .xxx Internet address nears
Billosaur writes: "ICANN is once more set to vote on the creation of the .xxx Internet address. Though the proposal has been voted down by ICANN's board twice before, ICM Registry Inc., the group behind those previous proposals, resubmitted it after they "agreed to hire independent organizations to monitor porn sites' compliance with the new rules, which would be developed by a separate body called the International Foundation for Online Responsibility." Once more the proposal has led to pornographers and religious groups finding themselves on the same side, the porn industry worried that the domain would lead to government controls, the religious groups worried it would make access too easy and allow porn to expand even further onto the Internet."
