All very nice, but when the CEO demands IT get him a website with domain ".big-corp.com", you try telling him no and he now has to have "www.big-corp.screw-customers-for-profit"...of course you could always threaten, sorry, legally pressure some poor little geek for his personal domain, 'cos its got your company name in it.

The current decision decided that the new tlds must be implemented in a timely manner... Proposals must be submitted by 2009, and a formal decision can be expected by 2123.

ICANN should be working on revoking the country TLDS's that are being abused (.tk,.tv)

We need a.porn TLD immediately! This would make my web surfing so much more efficient. I hate going to web pages that don't have pictures of naked women. What a waste of time.

Is there a moderation for incoherent? Maybe you should finish your coffee first and then post.
I bet RMS will be thrilled when he hears this. The FSF will finally be able to propose the.gnu TLD.

...I'm sure they'll come up with some real winners.
.cam - nubile 16-year-old girls with Amazon wishlists, and the FBI spooks who lurk there
.bomb - all venture-capital-rich startups start here for one year. if the company has not purchased any Aeron chairs within that period, they get awarded a.com
.trek - a special little home for people who actually care that Enterprise and Nemesis are completely out of synch with the rest of the series
.slash - a copyright-free zone for hot man-on-man fan fiction. may have a little overlap with.trek
.google - because sooner or later, Google is going to become the Internet anyway
.mac - give them their own damned internet so the rest of us can hear how much prettier, faster and more expensive it is. Pages will only move at 56k speeds, but a special "double-pumped" technology using two phone lines will supposedly make it as quick as DSL.

A.porn domain would be good, if most of the porn was collected under a single TLD it would be easy to block it at schools and so on.
How about.come for porn sites?

chicken.coop, but that would involve starting up some kind of cooperative farm, which goes directly against my no-chicken-droppings-in-the-house policy.
That's a great idea. I just opened a new hotel in St. Louis called Hotel Ectrics Ex in the latin district, but it turns out some bastard already registered hotelectricsex.com. Move all those pervs to.porn so legitimate businesspeople like myself can run our businesses!
The only way it might be workable would be as a secondary or tertiary domain within a geo-specific hierarchy.
Excellent! This will make it much easier for me to find pictures of hot German chicks at *.PORN.DE, withouth having to look through ugly Russian girls (now at *.PORN.RU).

I'm not really a web designer, I just play one on the Internet.
With all the lobbying going on in ICANN, it is suprising that there is not a .squatter TLD.

.ipv6 or .hackme?
Or how about
Of course, that could also be ipv6.geek and hackme.geek (or crackme.geek for Eric Raymond et. al.)

It seems quite intuitive...
.porn, .xxx or .sex TLD would make it easier for kids to find the stuff (much easier than a Google search on "Big Boobs")
.kids TLD will make it easier for pedofiles and other creeps to find kids (at least the ones that aren't trolling in .porn sites).

The courts. Law is full of 'man on the Clapham omnibus'-style subjective definitions. Why should porn be different?
Legislators would devise some 'reasonable wankability' test, which the courts would interpret and apply.

Dammit, http://fctnts14d017.nbnet.nb.ca/~xydds/ doesn't work...
They really should get a .sucks TLD. After all, wouldn't you really love to run www.microsoft.sucks?
Speaking of sites that suck, visit http://www.belledonne.biz/content/ to see how not to run a pr0n site...
