.xxx gonna get the greenlight?

[TheEnforcer]

I've read a few articles on how certain domain extensions really cause problems.

The article used .xxx to draw eyeballs.

What they're really considering doing is opening up the ability for people to register their own TLD's. .xxx would certainly be a hot one and go early.

But the real vision here would be for say someone like Fox with it's FX network, to have a TLD just for the FX network, so they could then have domains like:

TheShield.FX
RescueMe.FX
NipTuck.FX

you could do the same with say the NFL:

falcons.nfl
cowboys.nfl
patriots.nfl

The question I have is how do you control the chaos? What qualifies for it's own TLD and how do you determine who has rights to it? .XXX would be a prime example of this. Highest bidder? Imagine the fun.
