Support Formation of a CyberSafety Consituency on GNSO Council
Dear Heidi and the ICANN staff: First of all I would like to thank you for considering that children need to be protected and also for your being open that a CyberSafety Constituency be formed. Children and adults will thank you for generations for come. I believe there have been many great moments in history and this is one of them--that through this simple act, it will be a voice for the unheard and sometimes unnoticed children throughout the world. So many times, things which bring much revenue into society, become the "Golden Boy" that politicians and policy makers choose to not touch for fear they will kill the goose which is laying the golden eggs. This will not impact industry revenue but it is much more important than revenue. This more important than industry and business. This is more important than the lightning-fast advances technology is making. This is about our children and parents, and families. This formation of a CyberSafety Constituecy is to create something that will leave a legacy which will be chronicled in history books throughout the ages. Why? Because, upon this foundation of CyberSafety for our children, will a proper, safe society continue to be built. Even the most humble student of past civilizations will readily assert that which brought repeated cultures to their knees was that of total self-service and societal decadence. Why? Because when citizens don't think of serving others or producing something useful, they only think of themselves. By protecting children through the formation of the newly proposed CyberSafety Constituency, we are serving a vulnerable portion of our society. As part of this, not only do I recognize you, the ICAAN group (leaders and staff) for your willingness to consider such a critical proposal, but I would also like to thank Ralph Yarro from the CP80 foundation and Cheryl Preston for working tirelessly on these and other issues of great importance then communicating this information to me. I would like to offer my services to help in the building of something to protect children, either by participating via a committee or subcommittee assignment, or however you like. I have attached several documents which outline some of the activities in which we have been involved. Than you for your consideration. Sincerely, Craig Cobia, Ph.D. President/Founder Citizens for Decency cell: 208-656-0100 email: president@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:president@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> or ccobia@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ccobia@xxxxxxxxxx>.
