| 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.

We definitely need organizations like .Org, not greedy self-interest for-profit organizations who don't understand our plight.

Subject: .ORG FOR .ORGS

Non Profit Organizations should be overseen by Non Profit Organizations, not by .com companies who can't even keep their own websites alive, much less earn a buck.

Subject: support for a not-for-profit .org registrar

I fully support a not for profit organisation to provide the .org domains to the people!
All the best,
Victor
I fully support this proposal and its goal of making the .org TLD a home for non-commercial organisations. IMS and ISC are more than qualified for taking on this task. I doubt there are many others of which that could be said.

I agree that dot org should be kept in the public domain and not given away to a commercial organisation.
I trust the people at IMS and ISC to have more than sufficient competence to run this service far better than most commercial organisations taking part in domain registration services at the moment.

Subject: Supporting the ".org is a public trust" initiative
Posted by Frank Kuiper at 08.18.02 @ 01.35 AM |
I hereby fully support the initiative and bid to place the .org TLD maintenance in a public trust.
I also hope that the governance of this public trust keeps in close contact with all the domain users in the .org TLD, to serve this group as best as possible.

Subject: Can ICANN get this one right.
Posted by Brian Hatch at 08.17.02 @ 08.11 PM |
Now is the time for ICANN to do the right thing. Turn down the for-profit corporations who only wish to fill their coffers and hype another land grab. Unlike the others, I would trust IMS and ISC to keep .org running for it's sake, not their own. Their motivations are clear and honorable. They can do the job. And without the greed of previous tld registrars, they can do it right.

I fully support your proposal. Seeing as domain registries are an important part of Internet's infrastructure, it makes a lot of sense to open the source for all the software, as the resulting peer review increases security and stability.
