Even when the subject is valid I believe the discussion its completely
out of the scope of ICANN and this list.

No matter if it's the Internet or any other technology children these
days are more exposed to many things, it only takes to spend
few minutes in front of the tv during prime time when the kids are
still watching, and in some cases on channels for kids, and you
get all these commercials for ED pills, to "enlarge" your
apparatus, to blow away your partner with satisfaction, for movies
not rated for kids, etc, etc.

Parents should get more involved with their kids and provide
guidance and a good example.

What ICANN can do as a "charitable organization" with plenty of
$$ to spend away, is to fund programs to educate parents,
teachers, etc, about how to handle this issue.

As Evan said, is not ICANN's biz to regulate content or anything
else (unless we resort again to the default argument about the
"stability and security" of the Internet).
