Icann and new TLD's

[Stephen P Rufle]

Not sure how this is related , but didn't Icann veto teh .xxx tld. Does
this mean now that the adult entertainment industry could now pool funds
to get the xxx domain.

I like your nike shoes example.

Others
mc.donalds
kickass.music
blockbuster.movie

[distro_name].linux
