US Gov: not happy with .xxx - GoFuckYourself.com

The US government has expressed disappointment with ICANN for approving the .xxx top-level domain, surprising nobody.

As I reported Friday, ICANN used a literal interpretation of its Governmental Advisory Committee?s advice in order to make it appear that it was not disagreeing with it at all.

Essentially, because the GAC didn?t explicitly say ?don?t delegate .xxx?, the ICANN board of directors was free to do so without technically being insubordinate.

Whether the GAC knew in advance that this was the board?s game plan is another question entirely.

Strickling is of course duty-bound to complain about .xxx ? no government wanted to be seen to associate themselves with pornography ? but he?s in a unique position to do something about it.

Strickling heads the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the named ?Administrator? of the DNS root and ergo ICANN?s overseer.

It?s within his power to refuse to instruct VeriSign to inject .xxx into the DNS root system, but it?s a power few observers expect him to exercise.

Lawrence Strickling, assistant secretary at the Department of Commerce and one of ICANN?s keynote speakers at the just-concluded San Francisco meeting:

Quote:

We are disappointed that ICANN ignored the clear advice of governments worldwide, including the US. This decision goes against the global public interest, and it will open the door to more Internet blocking by governments and undermine the stability and security of the Internet.
