    According to "DomainNews",

    ICANN today voted to delay consideration of the .XXX Top Level Domain (TLD) in its board meeting at their 37th meeting held this week in Nairobi, Kenya.

    Among other decisions, the board also decided that there will be no co-ownership between registries and registrars for new gTLDs.

    For .XXX, the board resolved to direct ICANN's CEO and general counsel to finalise a report of possible process options for further consideration. This report is to be made available with a number of options for public comment within 14 days to enable the community to provide input on the board processes.

    The report will be posted for public comment for no less than 45 days, which will enable the board to consider the possible process options no later than ICANN's 38th international meeting in Brussels.

    I also think that .xxx would be used only for 18+, so it is a little bit useless for me :)
