Neustar and Melbourne IT would subcontract operation of registry Inc.[4] servers; registrars selected under same criteria and process currently imposed by ICANN. The .kids proposal would not rely on objective criteria for categorizing content. DotKids, Inc.[5] DotKids, established in 2000 in Rosemont, Illinois intends to utilize SARAF Software Solutions Inc. for software development of a .kids registry. DotKids would deal only with ICANN accredited registrars; content rating information is to be retained in the registry and is to describe ratings for an entire site. ICM Registry requested the .xxx and .kids TLDs as an integrated solution for improving child safety on the Internet by implicitly attempting to restrict content across both TLDs and targeting a narrow registrant group. Original intent was a for-profit .xxx registry and a non-profit .kids registry. The .xxx domain portion of this proposal has since been rejected, largely due to US government objections. .KIDS Domains is a California for-profit corporation; the proposed registry operator is Toronto-based domain name registrar Tucows Inc and .KIDS would be a restricted TLD. .KIDS Domains therefore does not intend to allow other registrars to register domain names in the .kids TLD.
