That's a load of bollocks! It would be easier to make it a rule that all pornsites would have to have a specific keyword in a metatag or what ever, and if they didn't the domain would be revoked. ICANN could easily make that rule, and the government would be fools to disagree. That way the industry would deffinately onitor that them selfs, say some cool domain didn't have that tag, you see it, report them and grab the domain. Self policing at it's best!

This .xxx would ruin years of branding, and besides that, say if person A owns porn.com and person B owns the .net version how are they to decide who gets the .xxx? Is it maybe just supposed to be up for grabs, first come first served?

I don't see this commin through with out some heavy compensation claims.
.xxx would be really cool if they allow porn to be on .com's etc. But not if they bann it...
