Pope Makes Statement About New TLDs
Mar 5th, 2009
For those of you who think the domain space is still blissfully under the radar, you are wrong. The Pope himself is getting in on the action with a concern about religious TLDs.
According to thedomains.com
The Vatican warned ICANN of the “perils” of allowing new internet domains such as “.catholic, .anglican, .orthodox, .hindu, .islam, .muslim, and .Buddhist.”
ICANN, could find itself having to decide who gets to represent an entire religion on the internet, His Holiness pointed out, in a letter from Monsignor Carlo Maria Polvani.
As if ICANN does not have enough on its hands at the moment. To quote one ICANN attendee overheard on the conference floor, “Why do people hate the future?”
