| Historical Context |
In June 2002, The Internet Multicasting Service and the Internet Software Consortium teamed up to submit a proposal to ICANN to become the .org TLD operator.
At the end of the bidding process, the following 632 comments of support were accounted for at our web site.
In addition to these comments, 389 supporters added a little blue dot to their web sites. Of course,
Googilla kept tracking the dot long after the final tally.

Subject: A proposal to have confidence in!

Congratulations on your proposal, and on the underlying philosophy. This is the approach which ICANN should have been fostering from the beginning: competent operation of infrastructure covered by cost-related charges.
I hope ICANN can recognise this opportunity!

Subject: fully support the ISC/IMS .org proposal

I fully support the .org proposal from ISC/IMS -- these organizations are more than qualified for this important task

The .org, existing for non-profit organisations, being handled by such an organisation is important in the more and more commercialized internet.
Paul & Carl both have exemplary track records with respect to Doing Good things for the Internet Community, most oftenly without personal gain or profit, but merely for the Greatest Good for the Greatest Number(s). I can't think of a better Dynamic Duo team to manage .ORG than Vixie & Malamud.

p.s. They'll obviously have More Fun doing it than just about anyone else as well! ;)

Subject: All for the ethical and open management of this TLD as proposed here.
Posted by Alex Huppenthal at 08.25.02 @ 09.55 AM |
I've read the proposal. The qualifications of the organization and their long history of supporting open and ethical behavior inherent in assuming such a priveledge is unique. I trust they will do a great job.

I think that we all need to start working together and start being honest with our fellow man.

Subject: support for a non-for profit .org proposal

Knowledge, its generation, clasification, distribution, and application should certainly be handled as a public trust. There is no greater danger to our civilization and personal development than the attempt to subordinate knowledge exchange to profit making. Your proposal is most sensible in advancing an objective. I fully suport it.

Subject: Support for .org as a public trust
Posted by Jim Lieb at 08.23.02 @ 09.25 AM |
I support the bid for IMS and ISC to manage the
.org domain. The Internet would not be here without
the developers and organizations they support.
Providing a non-profit revenue stream via registration
fees is a good combination to continue that vital
support.

Subject: Suport for your proposal
Posted by anna at 08.23.02 @ 05.43 AM |
Best of luck with this clearly sensible and beneficial proposal. I have placed a 'dot' on my site to show support.
I fully support this effort. I agree the .org registry service should be operated as a public trust. I have the utmost confidence these people can do that very well.

You certainly have my support. I think it's important that the TLD reserved for non-commercial organizations remain in the hands of such appropriate guardians.

I consider the bid of ISC and IMS for the .org TLD
as useful for the whole Internet community.
I fully support it.
