[ncdnhc-discuss] U.S. Congress plans hearings for .kidsproposal

[Jefsey Morfin]

As long as ICANN wants to be the worldwideweb editor I support that too. 
But IMHO this is mission creep at its best. Like if when you want to 
register your car, the car registration service person objected to the 
maker, to your age, to your insurrance company, to your passengers, to your 
bank choice, to your unversity specialization, to your business, to the 
color of wife's hears .... and required you first carried him back home and 
lend him your car to go and watch the next sunrise ...
