The .kids top-level domain (TLD) is a proposed generic TLD in the New gTLD Program of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The applicant for this TLD is the DotKids Foundation Limited, which has defined the kids community as consisting of children under the age of 18, parents and educators, charities, NGOs, governmental institutions, and educational institutions. Amazon also applied for the .kid TLD, but their application was merged with that of the DotKids Foundation due to a string similarity objection. The foundation has received endorsements from various organizations, particularly those based in Hong Kong where it is headquartered. The registry intends to remain independent while collaborating with community organizations and inviting them into its policy development processes and governance structure. Registration will be restricted to kids-centric organizations and services, and registrants must adhere to a policy that limits their content to beneficial, kid-centric material.
The application process for the .kids TLD has faced some restrictions. The European Commission flagged both applications for this TLD outside of ICANN's defined remediation processes and objected to the .kid application from Google. This objection was not part of the GAC Early Warning process, and the Commission stated that it is not legally bound to ICANN processes. The commission expressed concerns about potential issues with existing legislation or policy positions and objectives of the European Union. These restrictions may delay the approval and implementation of the .kids TLD. There are ongoing discussions between the applicant and the European Commission to address these concerns.
