yup.. but ICANN must be wanting the revenue stream that ICM must have pitched them as far as the numbers that would "flock" to it.
Their TLD application showed very modest numbers of only 14,000 .XXX domains registered in the first year.. but i am sure they pitched a different tune to ICANN, especially when their CEO has already made claims in an AVNonline interview that "a thousand adult webmasters" had emailed them support for .XXX
yeah right..
.KIDS is the best way to counter .XXX
.XXX deals with the negativity of regulating and blocking adult content, in a "volutnary' manner which is completely futile since adult sites can popup anywhere.. even the new .CAT domain they approved.
.KIDs allows ONLY approved kid-friendly sites in.
Sites that pop up on an IP or some non .KIDS extension cannot get through if parents are using the right tools....
.KIDS gives parents the responsibiity and the realistic and logistical way to monitor their kids activities.
From the yahoo article, it's clear ICM is all about making money and regulating the industry, rather than trying to protect children as they have been marketing.
Fight the .$$$
