Yesterday, ICANN approved a recommendation that could see many new names introduced to the Internet's addressing system. Presently, users have a range of 21 top-level domains to choose from (e.g., .com and .org). According to a news report, when Dr Paul Twomey, President of ICANN, was asked about the .XXX domain name that ICANN rejected in March 2007, he stated that the new system would be "open to anyone." According to a statement published on the [url=http://www.icann.org]http://www.icann.org[/url] website, "offensive names will be subject to an objection-based process based on public morality and order...ICANN will not be the decision maker on these objections."
