ICANN Votes on Relaxing Rules on Domain Names Today
Special to ag-IP-news Agency

PARIS - Well-informed sources confirmed to ag-IP-news Agency that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will be voting on Thursday whether to relax or not the current imposed rules on domain names.

This step comes during the International Public ICANN Meeting, which is taking place in Paris June 22-26, 2008.
Under the expected loosening, domains like .mac, .xxx or .bbc might be approved.

The proposed deregulation will also allow the internationalization of domain names allowing additional languages and characters to be used in the registration of domains.

The sources revealed that discussions also tackled the new recommended voting power on the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) with the ICANN Board; this will be decided Thursday as well.
