Pope Warns Internet Address-Making Body To Stay out of Religion

This is pretty interesting.

The Pope has called on ICANN to keep religion out of the domain name system.The Vatican warned the internet address-making body of the "perils" of allowing new internet domains such as ".catholic, .anglican, .orthodox, .hindu, .islam, .muslim, [and] .buddhist".ICANN, frequently accused of mission creep, could find itself having to decide who gets to represent an entire religion on the internet, His Holiness pointed out, in a letter from Monsignor Carlo Maria Polvani.Religion-themed domains could provoke "bitter disputes" that would force ICANN into "recognizing to a particular group or to a specific organization the legitimacy to represent a given religious tradition," Polvani told outgoing ICANN chief Paul Twome.

Now if the Vatican could be in charge I might go for it especially as the Jester envisions :)

The Curt Jester has much more at Master of the Domain.
