Post New domains on the way?

By early 2005 the net could have two new domain names.

The .post and .travel net domains have been given preliminary approval by the net's administrative body.

The names are just two of a total of 10 proposed domains that are being considered by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, Icann.

asia - for Asian companies
.cat - for Catalan language and culture
.jobs - for employment agencies/human resources
.mail - to help anti-spam efforts
.mobi - for mobile phones/devices
.post - for postal services
.tel - to help voice over net telephony (two proposals)
.travel - for hotel, airlines and travel firms
.xxx - for pornographers

One that may not win approval is a proposal to set up a .xxx domain for pornographic websites. A similar proposal has been made many times in the past.

But Icann has been reluctant to approve it because of the difficulty of making pornographers sign up and use it.
Yeah good luck getting all the porn sites and sites with adult images etc out their to change to .xxx domains now how easy would it be to block all sites in one hit if they did that
