Vittorio,
my 2 (euro)cents:
I quite agree with
Wendy. ICANN is in the business of making the DNS
system stable and secure.
It has no role in monitoring the content, nor
what is being done with a
TLD, as long as the stability and security of
the DNS system can be
guaranteed. ICANN should not evaluate a business
plan either. The
only guarantee it could ask is that the TLD is being
run for the whole
duration of the contract.
Whether the porn industry supports triple x
or not is irrelevant, as
long as ICM registry can securely run the
TLD.
Remember, Jon Postel wanted to create hundreds on new TLDs back
in
1998. This is the plan we should encourage ICANN to
follow.
