[ncdnhc-discuss] .kids may be p laced under .us

[David Corish]

Vany,

Those politicians whom are trying to force ICANN to create a .KIDS TLD are
only representing their repective constituencies (voters).  ICANN isn't
making the best decisions when it comes to new TLDs.  I'm not sure the USG
could do any worse.  I'll tell you this:  The USG could probably do as well
picking registries, given ICANN's judgement with .INFO and .BIZ.

With the new TLD releases, ICANN makes a mess, then points to the mess as an
excuse not to release more TLDs.  Sadly, the mess could have been prevented.
In fact, the mess was predicted by the "crazies" (label courtesy of Mike
Roberts).

Is the release of .KIDS, one way or another, really a big issue?
