Sotiris,

I personally share the same feelings (and I am sure that Debbie also does)
against child slavery, but would argue that it is *not* something involving
ICANN policy.
ICANN is providing a public service in delegating ccTLDs, and cannot get
into personal evaluation of the internal politics of the countries. I think
that Debbie is right in arguing that if ICANN starts to to this, it could be
the beginning of a slippery slope.

Cheers,
Roberto
