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.
