ABC is reporting that ICANN has approved a measure to make virtually any word aa top level domain suffix.
Says the report:
The policy would expand the short list of approved domains like .com, .org, .edu and country names to allow for almost anything, including steamy-sounding domains like .sex. ICANN recently turned down a proposal to create a .xxx domain for pornography sites, but if the new policy is approved, virtually any name, including .xxx, would be permitted.
New names will likely not appear online until at least 2009. The organization still must work out many of the details, including fees for obtaining new names, expected to exceed $100,000 apiece, to help ICANN cover millions of dollars in costs.
