This is what was provided to me from Neustar offlist: <snip> As you may know the CNNIC Policy regarding this issue is at Article 19 of their Regulations (http://www.cnnic.net.cn/ruler/20.shtml):
"Article 19 - Any of the following contents shall not be included in any domain name registered and used by any organization or individual: 1. Those that are against the basic principles prescribed in the Constitution; 2. Those jeopardize national security, leak state secrets, intend to overturn the government, or disrupt of state integrity; 3. Those harm national honor and national interests; 4. Those instigate hostility or discrimination between different nationalities, or disrupt the national solidarity; 5. Those violate the state religion policies or propagate cult and feudal superstition; 6. Those spread rumors, disturb public order or disrupt social stability; 7. Those spread pornography, obscenity, gambling, violence, homicide, terror or instigate crimes; 8. Those insult, libel against others and infringe other people's legal rights and interests; or 9. Other contents prohibited in laws, rules and administrative regulations." This is the language we (Neustar) are using on this issue - "Similar to the policies of many country code Registries the CNNIC reserve the right to review domain names registered". There will not be any front end filtering of registrations. Any review would be reactive. </snip?> Charles Daminato OpenSRS Product Manager Tucows Inc. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:owner-discuss-list@;opensrs.org]On Behalf Of Derek J.
