XXX Top Level Domain May Still See Use

eldavojohn writes "The contract between ICANN & ICM Registry has just been revised for procedures on using the .XXX TLD. ICM is saying that the domain should be readily available for registration as early as this summer. This means that parents will most likely have an easier time protecting their children from these sites and these sites will be more tightly regulated and easier to scrutinize by authorities. ICM also mentioned the collaboration with International Foundation for Online Responsibility."

    There is no .xxx domain because it is already known how good such course of action is.
    Now, they've made one in order to allow some organization to get some easy cash, while screwing us all with all this "think of the children" stuff. Gee, thanks a lot for listening to what the technical community has to say.

    (At least read the title of the document linked, it says a lot)

    BTW, I agree with you on TLDs, only country codes should be allowed as TLDs.
