PUBLIC SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR THE IMS/ISC .ORG BID
RE: .org is a public trust

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: Stop commercialization

I completely agree with the proposal made above. I have seen with dismay the intoduction of commercial and unscrupulous registrations in the .org domain.

At the moment I don't have the time to write a fancy post of why I support ISC/IMS, but I don't really think I need to anyway. It's all in their proposal. And they have my support.

UF supports .org in the public trust.

Subject: Endorsement of the IMS/ISC proposal
Posted by Chip Rosenthal at 08.31.02 @ 01.10 PM
As a long-time Internet participant and .ORG stakeholder, I enthusiastically support the IMS/ISC proposal to manage the .ORG registry. The principals have a proven track record in designing and deploying Internet infrastructure. To have this proposal declined on the basis of technical evaluation is a sham of a travesty of a mockery of a sham.

I strongly believe that the Internet community
is best served by a not-for profit
managing any TLD and the root zone. The people behind IMS and ISC have a long
history and excellent reputation in the Internet
community. I believe that we as an Internet
community can trust them to do a good job
managing the .org TLD. David Kessens

Subject: The best .org money can buy
Posted by Kurt Jaeger at 08.30.02 @ 11.09 AM
Hi! I know the projects run by carl marlamud
and paul vixie (and others in this .org
team) for many years. e.g. LF.net covered the .9.4.TPC.INT service
area when ENUM wasn't even on the horizont. We think this proposal and the team behind
it is the very best .org proposal that is
possible, in every aspect. I hope ICANN gets the message.

Proudly spreading the dot!

Subject: love
Posted by nathan paternostro at 08.27.02 @ 09.40 PM
love for people should drive all actions of all people at all times! unfortunately as this is not the case, we must attempt to best decide to support those who come nearest to that ideal, rather than ones whose pure love of Self drives all their thoughts and actions. upon close investigation, a distinction can usually be made... you shall know them by their actions. In conclusion, I support this proposal above the others, because to the best of my knowledge, it serves the people the best.

Subject: I support the Trusted.Resource bid

This is a key chance to commit to the spirit and the functionality that made the web possible and made it glorious. From the first days of the IP protocol, what has become the Internet has become what it has in large part through the understanding that just this once a public treasure truly will be better run outside of both government AND corporate hands.
As a capitalist, an online citizen since 1982 (you can call me RW1P@cmu.edu), and the possessor of two domains, I feel that it is crucial that we move outside of the current religion that insists that only short-sighted next-quarter-profit oriented businesses can ever do a job well.
Give TLD authority to Trusted.Resource.org.

Subject: You have my support

I agree with what is being proposed; dot-orgs should be administered by an "org" and not a corporation. "For the people, by the people"...That's what I always interpreted from the original "spirit and theme" for the creation of the dot-org TLD. Good Luck to the bid!

In the days of corporate gangsterism in For Profit organisations, it's important that we maintain a culture of public service. Carry on the good work!

Subject: fully support the ISC/IMS .org proposal
Posted by James Beal at 08.27.02 @ 07.52 AM
As a It manager of 12 years experience I am confident that the ISC is a body full capable of administering the .org domain.
