[ga] Good news, but why did it take so long?: ITU launches Child Online Protection initiative

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

See:

  This is for me and our members some of the best and only
good news regarding the ITU's activities we have seen in years
if ever.  Why did it take so long for the ITU to act, and why hasn't
ICANN followed up?  Perhaps in ICANN's case it was the potential
loss in DN registration fees had they done so when many of us
than 5 years ago that were enguaged and calling for such.  Seems
to me that ICANN should have been out front on this instead of
recomending .XXX, which rightly so, DOC/NTIA resoundly
rejected and stepped in and stopped.

P.S. For that matter, where the heck was the ALAC on getting
behind this issue some 5+ years ago?
