CDT Calls for 'Hands-Off' Approach to '.XXX' Internet Domain - CDT is urging the U.S. Government to remove itself from the decision-making process surrounding the creation of a .xxx Internet domain. In a letter to Michael Gallagher, Assistant Commerce Secretary and head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), CDT highlights concerns about NTIA's recent letter to ICANN Chairman Vinton Cerf, recommending that he delay the approval of a .xxx Internet domain intended for use by adult-content Web sites. CDT is concerned that the move violates First Amendment protections and could also upset the United States' delicate relationship with the Internet's addressing system. September 30, 2005
