Re: [atlarge-discuss] FYI: Washington Post on .kids.us

Judyth and all stakeholders or other interested parties and members,

  This was a poor compromise IMHO along with a number of
NCDNHC, INEGRoup, DNSO GA, and other organizations that
pushed for a .KIDS TLD instead of the .KIDS.US 2nd level DN.
  Putting an ICANN registry Nuestar run by Jeff Nueman, will
ultimately become a political foot ball of gargantuan proportions...
