A key Internet oversight agency rejected for a third time a proposal to create a voluntary ".xxx" address for pornographic Web sites. The board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers cited fears that it would find itself having to regulate content and concerns that such a domain name did not have the support of the adult-entertainment industry. The president of the company seeking the domain name, ICM Registry, said a lawsuit against ICANN was likely over the rejected bid.

In their Medical Malpractice column, Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore partners Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write that fetal monitor strips, essentially a continuous recording of what was happening with the maternal contractions and the fetal heart rate at the time of birth, can be so crucial in cases where it is claimed that the fetus suffered a deprivation of oxygen during labor or delivery that over the past decade, a body of case law has developed over what should be done when they are missing.

Thomas A.
