DOT-KIDS MEASURE PASSES CONGRESS
The Senate and the House of Representatives have passed the Dot-Kids
Implementation and Efficiency Act, sending the bill to the White House.
The bill would create a second-level domain within the existing
top-level .us domain. A top-level .kids domain had been proposed, but
criticism from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
and the U.S. Commerce Department led to the kids.us compromise. The
bill requires NeuStar, the current operator of the .us domain, to
ensure that Web sites in the kids.us area meet the requirements of that
domain. Those requirements include not allowing hyperlinks to other
than kids.us sites and placing strict limits on chat and instant
messaging.
