Stephens Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - Although conservative groups attacked the idea and international regulators nixed it, Sen. Mark Pryor said Wednesday he would continue his effort to create an Internet designation specifically for pornography.

Pryor, D-Ark., said the ".xxx" domain name would protect children from pornographic Web sites. Opponents like the Family Research Council said a specialized domain would create a virtual "red light district."

Pryor was unhappy with ICANN's unwillingness to approve the domain and he pressed for progress toward its creation during a Senate subcommittee hearing Wednesday.

Pryor and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., introduced the Cyber Safety for Kids Act in March. The act would require the Commerce Department to develop the designation in cooperation with ICANN.

That bill remains in committee.
