Objections Made To ICANN Over Proposed gTLDs In Extended Consultation Period [pcadvisor.co.uk]
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia objected this week to a variety of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs)... |
|
ranging from .wine and .bar and .bible, according to records of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
|
|
People from other countries have also complained about some of the proposed gTLDs, for example about the use of the .patagonia gTLD which is said to be the name of a geographical region, and should not be assigned to a private company.

Perhaps the Saudis would find it easier to block "offensive content" IF more of such content moved to nicheTLDs?
I believe the idea that content could be filtered by nicheTLDs - such as .#*$! or .s e x - was supposed to be a benefit due to easier filtering.
