Subject:	All the .kids applicants agree - ICANN must establish a .kids TLD
Message:
All four applicants have singed a letter to ICANN urging them to grant a .kids regardless of the recipient.  Clearly we individually proposed different ways of doing something to protect kids online, but we all agree that SOMETHING has to be done.  And not something 4 or 5 or even 10 years from now. Children are the largest and fastest growing constiuency on the Internet.  In Australia, they outnumber adults online by 2:1!  I was recently at a conference in Los Angeles that was asking how the Internet market could most effectively get at kids.  The knowledge that kids are online is widespread, and everyone is scrambling to get at them.  ICANN has the unique opportunity to create something FOR kids.  Blueberry Hill, DotKids, Inc, ICM, and .Kids Domains all agree that they need to do it now.
