I am opposed to mentioning .kids for the simple reason that 98% of ppl emailing ICANN mention it so it doesnt look natural.

And in fact, ICANN has no real influence over .kids - well theoretically they could propose it, but recently it has been that independent organisations propose the extensions - in this case its the ICM Registry.

They have to convince ICANN that they have community support and demand for a particular new extension and that they are able to run the whole reristry ( solid business plan and technical criteria meet ).

And ICM Registry has obviously no links to the adult industry and they even admit to be profit driven in this case.

Would .kids be a good solution? Perhaps. But first we need to agree that there's a problem and Im not convinced that there's a problem with how the web is right now...
