Commendation: ICANN Votes to Reject "Dot-Ex-Ex-Ex" Top-Level Domain
( http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000221.html )
Greetings. In a 9 to 5 vote with one abstention, the ICANN Board of
Directors today again rejected the "dot-ex-ex-ex" top-level domain
(TLD) application. This was a complex and difficult decision for the
board, and it goes without saying that the controversies regarding
"adult entertainment" content on the Internet aren't going to vanish
as a result of this vote.
Obviously, given my many past statements on this matter, I very
strongly endorse ICANN's decision to reject the TLD, and I want to
thank and commend all of the ICANN board members and other involved
parties -- regardless of their views on this particular subject --
for their work on this issue.
