| 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.

The .org top level domains are predominantly used by not for profit organisations. I believe the entity that manages these TLDs should share the philosophy of those they serve. You have my full support in this effort.

I would like to support your bid as I agree that .org must remain free.

We will support the free character of the dot org websites
Just like public television, there needs to be part of the internet that is not controlled by a profit motive. Speech and expression can NEVER be free in a medium where money makes the decisions. We need to get SOMETHING on the internet right!

hi all
like everybody right there i think the *.org must be managed by an independant an non-commercial organisation.
hope it'll work
Frankly, as the administrator of two .org domains (for which I don't see a penny - really), I'm happy to see the predatory VeriSign lose the TLD. I do agree that .org SHOULD be a public trust. As such, after reading the ISC/IMS documentation, as well as evaluating the opinion of other larger webmasters I respect, I'm throwing my support (for what it's worth) behind ISC/IMS. I hope all the good words I read come true, and I hope ICANN can see the big picture and handle this situation correctly.
(I'm going to go add the dot to my main page after I get done here...)
