Its not the same company putting up these new TLDs...well, perhaps they are sponsoring some of them like .sex, that would not surprise me. And I think Google and countries would not ban .black or .latino, that banning is a specific fear with .xxx which is only starting to come true with the UK and other country's mandatory internet filters, although those filters are more about blocking porn and not blocking .xxx, it just so happens that the easiest way to block a chunk of porn is to block the entire .xxx TLD.

Yup, thats right. And I am 100% confident that there is terms in the contract between the private company and ICAAN to have provisions for companies going bust, not the least of which would be financial guarantees and holdbacks!
