A vote was scheduled Friday as weeklong meetings conclude. The board's 15-voting members could approve it, reject it outright or reject it but leave room for a revised proposal to return. That last option, however, would contradict ICANN's desire to close the current round of domain name proposals, started in 2004.The board could also defer a decision for more discussion. That, too, is not likely given that ICANN already has rejected similar proposals twice since 2000 and has discussed the latest version during three teleconference meetings this year.
"They have made it very clear that the board will make a decision," said Paul Levins, ICANN's vice president for corporate affairs. "It's pretty clear that they want to make a decision."
There would be nothing preventing the US from creating an adult category under the .us domain, or Canada under .ca, and the national government for each ccTLD can decide on the pertinence of legislation and the extent of any restrictions with respect to each country's values and beliefs.
As such, I'm glad ICANN rejected this proposal again.
What happened to the TLD with triple X?
I want to know what happened to
.i, .ii, .iii, .iv, .v, .vi, .vii, .viii, .ix, .x, .xi, .xii, .xiii, .xiv, .xv, .xvi, .xvii, .xviii, .xix, .xx, .xxi, .xxii, .xiii, .xiv, .xv, .xvi, .xvii, .xviii, & .xix TLDs
