I am not sure if this has been in the works for a while, as I was surprised by this news.. but I guess, it has been prepared for a while indeed and it's something totally seperate from Lawley. But if it gets implemented (if the new TLD rules become much more relaxed) then Lawley will have it much easier to finally receive his .xxx.
But aside from .xxx, I see completely no point in suddenly restructuring the internet.
It will confuse the hell out of typical internet users, it will encourage scammers, it will constitue more legal fees and money spent to register domains only to protect trademarks... and it will be just useless.
I think that even though most of us are entrepreneuers, who in general oppose regulation, there are some exceptions and this is one of them.
Suddenly enabling hundreds of new .TLD's to be added to the internet, will do no good.
Any of you can name any sites using the current .TLD's like .aero or .museum.. or .pro... or even .eu?
Hardly anyone uses them, as most serious organisations use .com , then .net and .org, and also the local country code domains like .co.uk, or .de .
So there's absolutely no point in adding new domains AT ALL, I guess ICANN is considering it only for the money, as these guys are quite smart and educated and experienced so I can't imagine that they really think that adding new domains will make the internet a better place.
