ICANN will discuss setting up domain names for adult sites

The global Internet management Agency Internet name and number distribution company (ICANN) is scheduled to meet 12th in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, to discuss whether to set up a dedicated domain name for adult sites to facilitate parents to "isolate" these sites and prevent children from clicking to browse. The proposal sparked controversy.　　Opponents believe that a dedicated domain name is tantamount to legalizing adult websites, while the role of protecting young people may be extremely limited. The proposal is proposed by ICM incorporation in Florida, USA. The company recommends that the Internet name and number distribution company set up ". XXX" for adult website dedicated domain name, with existing generic top-level domain. com.　　"and". Net ".　　Parents will be able to install special software on the computer, automatically shielding the ". XXX" as the domain name of adult sites, to prevent children inadvertently click to browse. ICM was first proposed in 2000 for the purpose of standardizing adult websites.　　These sites can voluntarily choose to ". xxx" as the domain name and comply with the relevant regulations, to ensure that there will be no spamming and running malicious scripts.　　The company previously said it hoped to start the ". XXX" domain registration business by the end of this year, with a tentative price of USD 60. Controversial proposals have provoked many questions and objections.　　Some anti-adult web sites say that a dedicated domain name for such sites is tantamount to legalizing them. Opponents say that, given that the proposal does not impose a ". xxx" domain name on adult websites, it may be difficult to achieve shielding effects by using specialized software.　　In addition, because the domain name is only the website digital address "alias", even if the parent successfully isolates ". XXX" domain name, the child may also type the digital address to browse the adult website.　　Some sceptics believe that adult web operators, even if they are willing to register the ". XXX" domain name, may still retain the ". com" domain name, resulting in an increase in the number of adult websites.　　Other opponents questioned that the ". XXX" domain name proposal may not be supported by adult website operators because they are concerned that the government will force the site to join the "virtual Red light district" to implement regulation. About Internet name and number distribution company chief executive Beckstrom said the company's board of Directors has discussed the adult website's dedicated domain name proposal before the meeting is formally convened.　　However, for legal reasons, he did not give a detailed discussion of the details.　　Beckstrom did not say when the company would make a decision. ICM's proposal is twists.　　In 2000, the company first proposed the ". xxx" domain name idea, but the Internet name and number distribution company was rejected for fear of interfering with the content of the site. ICM registered company in 2004 recommended the establishment of a body responsible for the formulation of relevant policies to avoid interference with the content of the site is suspected, and then rejected.　　In 2007, the company again launched a "shock" after revising the proposal, but it was still unsuccessful. ICM director Stewart Lauri subsequently complained to the international Dispute Resolution center. The Centre's panel of Experts last month questioned the rationale behind the company's rejection of the proposed Internet name and Numbering division, which was finally revived. (Zhang Jing)
