| 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.

I have had enough issues and problems regarding corporate domain registrars, lent my ear to countless other issues and problems.
With this in mind, and my undrestanding of the ims's intentions and agreement with such, i support their bid of the IMS/ISC proposal to manage the .org domain.

I have been a user and member of the Internet community for twenty years, and used
the Arpanet before there was an Internet, and my family has its own .org domain, so I
am a "stakeholder".
I am delighted to see a proposal to manage what is supposed to be the non-commercial part of
the Internet namespace in a manner true to the public interest, put forward by people who have the credentials and technical ability to do it right.

I support keeping .org in non-profit hands, and feel that IMS/ISC in particular are well-suited to manage the TLD. As such, I heartily endorse your proposal; good luck!

If only we had someone like this running the .net and .com TLDs.

I believe that a significant part of the Internet certainly needs to be set aside for the public good, globally, and that can't happen if commercial and corporate interests are involved.
As the publisher of an independent website, I strongly support the IMS proposal for the .org TLD

Nothing special to say, I'm supporting you and I hope .org won't fall into benefits-fanatics hands.

It is appropriate for .org to be managed by a nonprofit organization in the public interest, and the IMS/ISC proposal provides both a technically superior alternative as well as the personal backing of a number of persons known to me to be among the Internet's most experienced pioneers and leaders. Bravo!

An All-Star group of people have come together to make a
tecnically solid proposal which I think will enhance the ability of the .org domain and the Internet to aid the Public Good. This is a proposal soley motivated by the technical and ethical merits -- not some fig leaf non-profit like some of the other proposals for the .org domain.

I completely having trusted.resource.org handle the domain names for the dot-org part of the Internet. It fits with the spirit of the whole non-profit world. These names should be handled by people who are not out to get rich off the procedure.
Thanks!

We really need to see public infrastructure run in
a more open and transparent way, and I think that
this proposal is a good start to show that this is
indeed practical to realize.

...in their bid for .org. The .org TLD will be in better hands
with those who are ommitted to a quality Internet,
rather than those whose primary interest is profit.
