DJilla: At the end of the day, the FSC is a global umbrella organization that by it's very nature cannot and will not represent the needs of the online world unless those needs match those of the video industry. We are still the bastard children, and we don't have the power with them to make it work out.
If I understand correctly, the elections within FSC are only for a limited number of positions, and the rest are by appointment or by "representitives from various parts of the industry". Even if the online people outnumber the video members 3 to 1, there would be no way to vote a more online friendly board.
We truly need an "online porn" organization that could work with FSC on things, but that would come to the forefront on issues directly related to the online world.
.kids is an idea I have pushed in the past, I think it is a great idea, but it also may put an unrealistic burden on content neutral sites (such as dictionary.com or whatever) to have a duplicate site because kids often access their site for information. I think that in the end both .XXX and .KIDS are misleading, because they fail to address the simple point:
The internet (like all of the world) is an adult place, and children are only safe when protected by their parents or guardians. It is a fact of the real world, and a fact of the net as well. Parents must take their responsilbities for how their children behave.
