yup I read it too at betanews.. I think the .xxx domains would have made more sense 'cause it would help sort theese sites specially at education institution where filtering them would be easy.. those who visit will visit them anyways

So you would tell the current owner of Sex.com he would not be allowed to use it for its current purpose? LOL It would be sex.xxx

I am for it, but how would they make the transition? Allow them to redirect their old site for a period of 90 days?

This is a timely reminder for all those thinking that IDN.IDN will be served by new registeries rather than DName Aliasing of IDN.com just how long it actually takes to get precisely nowhere at all with the creation of new registeries. IDN.IDN will be with us on test bed in less than two months. Do people really think that those investing in IDN.com are going to be usurped by some Johny come latelies in that period of time?
