http://www2.europarl.eu.int/omk/sipa...NAV=S#SECTION2The committee is recommending the creation of a new top-level domain name ".kid" (like .com or .org) with content reserved for children, which could provide a secure Internet area regularly monitored by an independent authority. MEPs in the committee say the Commission should introduce a European free telephone number providing information on existing filter methods and making it easier to lodge complaints with the relevant authorities or report harmful sites. This is intended to offset the absence in some Member States of such hotlines.
Im wondering just how thats going to work with ICANN though, didnt they already say that they DIDNT want to have a .KID TLD in favor of the proposed .XXX TLD?
Will definately be interesting to watch this one play out especially as this is, in effect, forcing children to browse one specific type of domain a .KID id figure it'd be a hell of a lot easier for the government to control .KID domains than it would be to police regular domain TLDs :thumbsup:
What do you think of this idea by the EU and, more importantly, do you think ICANN will even listen?
