Thanks Tim, for your comments, I agree with the sub-questions.
However, what do you think if the we keep the main Title of "Internet for Kids" as a seperate theme and yes, theme # 11, Child Protection will be covered under this main theme.
If you speak regarding the age as you mentioned "from 0 to 30+", I think it is not necessary to mention the age, otherwise, it could be upto 80+ Kids.
Sub-Questions may include:
- Clean Contents Development Awareness Compaign for the Kids Internet.
- Debates for Provisioning of Kids Internet Governance, (that is beyond the Contents Filtering for Kids)
- Vote for the Provisioning of dot-Kids (gTLD with IDN translations)
- Compaign for Free Access to Kids Internet for Next Generation.
. Russia's dot-РФ registry has announced plans to apply for the top level domain dot-kids
. In the 107th Congress, legislation sought to create a "kids-friendly top level domain name" that would contain only age-appropriate content. The Dot Kids Implementation and Efficiency Act of 2002 was signed into law on December 4, 2002 (P.L. 107-317) and authorizes the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to require the .us registry operator (currently NeuStar) to establish, operate, and maintain a second level domain within the .us TLD that is restricted to material suitable for minors.
Thanks

>These are good suggestions. On your suggested (20), Internet for Kids, one of the ways I've tried to encourage addressing this in the past is encouraging talk of 'Children, young people, and young adults' in place of the term 'youth' which tends to get widely used to cover a blanket group from 0 to 30+.

>'IMPACTS OF THE INTERNET ON YOUTH: CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE and YOUNG ADULTS, AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE INTERNET'

>- What are the differences in how Internet Governance should address issues for children, young people and young adults?
