About DotKids
‘.Kids’ is a specialized Internet space for all things kids! We are a child-centric top-level-domain (TLD) for kids, parents, educators, kids advocate groups and like minded businesses. Operated by DotKids Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation, the new .kids domain extension is dedicated to kids and the communities that serve them, and the only TLD with kids’ best interest at heart.
DotKids Principles
We, DotKids Foundation, as the only community based applicant for the “.kids” domain, acknowledging the impact that a .kids domain will have on kids and the general public around the world, we believe that .kids must be run under these guiding principles:
Adopt the United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child as a fundamental guiding principle to protect the rights of children;
Operate as a not-for-profit
initiative promoting kids-friendly content on the Internet;
Promote the well-being
of children online and uphold children’s rights;
Value children’s participation
on Internet governance by making .kids a platform for children as an important part of the multi-stakeholder approach to build a better Internet world together; and
Support child-rights organizations
and initiatives around the world, especially with relevance to the development of the Internet with the best interests of the child as a fundamental principle.
