Sorry, .kids

Brian writes \”thestandard.com is one place reporting on ICANN\’s plans for the new TLDs.
\”staff of ICANN recommended Friday that no new top-level domains distinguishing between kid-friendly and kid-unfriendly material be added to the Internet at this time.\” \”

They got 44 proposals on new names, and say only 17 of those are being considered.


\”Because of the inadequacies in the proposed technical and business measures to actually promote kid-friendly content, the evaluation team does not recommend selecting a dot-kids domain in the current phase of the TLD program,\” the staff report said. \”In addition, because of the controversy surrounding, and poor definition of the hoped-for benefits of dot-xxx, we also recommend against its selection at this time.\”
