A solution I had in my mind would be to have the registry maintain something similar to the ICRA. Make it voluntary and promote it thru the registries and registrars.
Funding could be easily allocated by governments or child protection agencies around the world.
How it would work:
I buy/receive a domain and my intended use is for pornography or something that would be inapropriate for children. Upon receipt or purchase I would be presented with a page that asked if my intended use of the domain would be inapopriate for children. If yes, I would verify that it is. This information would be passed on to a non profit/non government organization such as ICANN. ICANN would solely maintain the list of domains that are inapropriate for children.
ICANN would distribute freely thru its registrars software available for end users to access and block these sites that are deemed inapropriate for children.
If a domain becomes deleted/expired the domain would be removed from the database of inapropriate sites for children. If there becomes a new owner, that person would intiate the process over again stating if the domains intended use is inapropriate for children.
No need for another TLD and no need for government intervention this way. Webmasters block access to children, parents feel safer alowing their children to use the net and children don't stumble across adult content.
