I'm still waiting for all the dot.KIDS applications to be online - so far
the applications submitted by DotKids, Inc. and .KIDS Domains, Inc. fail
my safe kids test. These people are dreaming in technocolor - but playing
on a Black & White landscape.
First of all - let me say I do not support an application for .KIDS in the
USG namespace. .KIDS already exists and as far as i'm concerned the US
government is a criminal tresspasser.
However - I was interested in the application and if any of the .KIDS
hopefulls had any idea of what they are doing. The application are all
together lame - and speak of internet visionaries and other such
marketing stuff - but non approached the issues of making the tld
"safe" for kids. In both of the above cases these people are
subcontracting the function hopefully to others.
Won't work - especially at the rates to registrar that DotKids,
Inc. proposes ($12.00). Impossible at those fees. A safe registry has to
be vigilent in verifying and ensuring safe content. This is a very
expensive process which non of these proposals addresses. This will of
course ensure abuse of the registry, there simply won't be the finance to
police the registry.
These people have spent alot of cash on drafting the technicals and have
forgotten the practicles. I look forward to reviewing the other
submissions.
