As reported in:

ICANN has reversed their earlier preliminary approval, and has now rejected the "dot-xxx" adult materials top-level domain. I applaud this wise decision by ICANN, which should simultaneously please both anti-porn and free speech proponents, where opposition to the TLD has been intense, though for totally disparate reasons.
Nick's AP piece referenced above notes that there are still Congressional efforts to mandate such a TLD. It is important to work toward ensuring that these do not gain traction.
