I don't know if this development is related to the proposed legislation by Senators Baucus and Pryor to wall off all adult sites to an "xxx" domain that I reported on last week.
This is what DPA says:
The global internet governing body ICANN is expected to sign off on the proposal, which will add dot xxx to other domains such as dot com and dot net next week at a meeting in New Zealand, Radio New Zealand reported.
It quoted the applicant for the domain, Stuart Lawley of ICM Registry based in Florida, as saying dot triple-x could help clean up the online industry by signposting pornography for parents.
He claimed it would help parents who wanted to prevent the exposure of porn sites to their children and would screen out child pornography.
Some sites will ward "xxx" as a badge of honor, of course.
