William and all,
Lets face it William, you don't approve of adult related information
on the internet at all. You have made that political statement on several
occasions over the past couple of years. So any web based business
that is possibly interested in the DNS business, you are not in favor of.
Personally I find that a rather myopic and unrealistic view... We don't
need moral police on the internet.
We [INEGroup] believe that there should be some protections available
to the stakeholder or user to protect themselves and their children from
adult relate material. This does not however include excluding adult
related web based businesses. Some protections for children are
and have been available for some time (Adultcheck, net nanny). Better
ones need to be developed as an entragal part of the DNS itself. A
chartered TLD would be one such potential step in that direction in
our opinion. But this is just one possible method, and it is not a cure
all by any means...
