'Green light ' for .xxx porn website address

[gsk6u]

The company that oversees web addresses is expected to give the go-ahead today for the creation of a .xxx suffix for websites with pornographic content, company officials indicated .

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which oversees the internet on behalf of the US government, has in the past resisted creating a .xxx generic domain name system akin to those for .com and .net.

It has in recent years repeatedly rejected a request by US company ICM Registry to sign off on the .xxx domain.
