Porn domain faces further delays
Plans for the porn-only domain have been widely criticised
A final decision on the controversial .xxx domain has been delayed again.
The domain for sex sites was approved in June and final negotiations over how it should be run were due to conclude in early December.
This latest delay is because the net body that oversees the creation of new domains said it needed more time to review a report on .xxx before granting final approval.
No date was given for when the review of the report would be completed.
Slow start
The idea for an .xxx domain was first floated in 2001 and since then has gradually inched towards approval.
The domain was widely expected to achieve final approval at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) meeting held in Vancouver from 30 November to 4 December.
