 PFIR Statement on Top-Level Domain "Ghettoization" Proposals
It does not address various attempts by some entities to establish their own top-level domains outside of the generally accepted domain structure, since such unsanctioned domains are not (and are unlikely in the near future to become) accessible by the majority of Internet users, and appear to mainly add confusion to an already complex environment.
The two most frequently suggested domain ghettos at present are "dot-ex-ex-ex" and ".kids" (the phonetic version of the former is being used to try avoid triggering typically overzealous and inaccurate filtering programs -- please see the "PFIR Statement on Content Control and Ratings").
While it can be assumed that there would some commercial firms and non-commercial organizations which would willingly locate within ghetto-domains, there would undoubtedly be vast numbers of sites, many operated by individuals without charge or profit, that would be unwilling to voluntarily have their content categorized by outside entities.
