| Oh by the way.... ...who's going to decide what is decent and what is not?
I could imagine that .fuk is something completely innocent in vietnam or korea.  Or how bout .kunt - that word just means "can" in dutch. Or .kut , which actually IS .cunt in Dutch....
TLD's are international.... and what may be offensive in English, may not be at ALL for the 1 billion Indians or 1.3 billion Chinese that are out there..... Or fill in any language.
ICANN is going to have to realize that if they open up the floodgates, they can't control the flow. And TLD's that are (very) offensive to English speakers are going to pop up.
It also paves the way for a kid-safe internet by the way, if all major websites that are proper will also register a .kids domain for instance.... or .family or or..... well, I don't think the last word has been said about this
