[governance] ICANN Board Vote Signals Era of Censorship in Domain Names

[David Goldstein]

To take this discussion on .xxx slightly into another area, who was to determine what is acceptable to register in .xxx? I've not read the proposal, so it's probably outlined there. But if it's ONLY to be pornography and related, under whose standards? America's? China's? Saudia Arabia's?

And given the US's preoccupation with porn, and acceptance of violence in its media and entertainment mediums, would a ".violence" TLD viewed acceptable if it met the requirements?

Cheers
David
