First, my name is Joe Howe and
i currently work for .Kids Domains, Inc. We are one of the applicants proposing
a restricted, and sponsored TLD .kids. Let it be known that I am not a policy
maker within this organization. I do however have some ideas to share with
this message board and will now do so with this understanding.
I believe the
.Kids Domains, Inc. proposal is legally sound. A private contract would exist
between the sponsoring body of the registry and the registrant.
A seperate international
Policy Board will legislate and implement Voluntarilary accepted restrictions of
content for registrants.
Enforcement of policies is done by the sponsoring body
seperate of registry practices. Screening of website content is agreed to and responsibility
of content is agreed to by registrant.
TLD implementation meets the need to further
existing technologies for which without TLD implentation technologies fail.
Agreement
of restriction is voluntary, Enforcement of restriction is agreed upon, Technology
of enforcement is in place, and necesity for TLD implementation is valid.
The evaluation team also seemed to overlook
and mistate many of our positions regarding policy. A further reading of our
proposal would show so.
