Subject:	"Social Policy Choices" - ICANN properly avoiding them with .kids
Message:
Hi. You don't appear to understand. The staff recommendation was precisely correct in regard to "social policy choices" (which ICANN is specifically forbidden to make); choosing to support one social view (i.e., that children should be restricted from a specific spectrum of content (no matter _how_ that spectrum is defined, which is a "social policy choice" in and of itself), or that parents, schools, or governments should be helped in making such filtering) is such a choice. There are many people, myself included, who do _not_ believe that children should be restricted by anyone in their choice of content. -Allen
