ICANN and .xxx
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, has come out with an announcement about the new
.jobs
and .travel
domain suffixes, while considering .asia
, .mail
, .tel
, and .xxx
.
I previously criticised ICANN (registrars particularly) about making things worse. They allow virtually anybody to take over an unsuitable domain name; now they consider the .xxx
suffix. Is that what the Internet involves? Jobs, leisure and pr0n? It is about time the Internet adopted a tree structure to clear up the chaos.
