| 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 *PEOPLE* of the IMS and ISC have demonstrated their technical prowess and passionate support of the Internet over many, many yearts. I strongly support their bid to manage .org

Subject: ISC as .org registry
Posted by Stian Oksavik at 08.21.02 @ 08.03 AM |
The Internet Software Consortium has played a crucial role in the evolution of the domain name system; among their contributions may be mentioned the most-widely used DNS server on the Internet (BIND) as well as their contribution operating a DNS root server.
ISC has proven themselves to be competent and reliable. Furthermore, they don't treat the Internet as merely a cash cow to be milked for corporate profit, which is more than I can say for certain (most) other players in the registry business.
I feel .org should stay non-profit, be under the control of a non-profit organization AND be operated by a non-profit organization. I have my own domain under .org, and of all the candidates who have bid to take over this TLD from VeriSign, none are more suited than the Internet Software Consortium.

Subject: Support for the Internet Multicasting Service's bid for .org management
Posted by Dale Whiteaker-Lewis at 08.21.02 @ 07.31 AM |
Please make an enlightened decision to allocate management of the .org Top Level Domain to the Internet Multicasting Service, as they are the only purely non-profit organization bidding for the job, and they are a group of highly experienced Internet professionals dedicate to keeping the .org domain as the location of not-for-profit organizations worldwide.

These people are some of the original Internet pioneers, and see this stewardship as a public trust. This is important, especially for .org. Since .org is for non-profits and NGOs, it is entirely appropriate that it be run by a non-profit orgination.
Sincerely,
Glenn Trewitt

Subject: IMS/ISC should be it, not the corps.
Posted by Scott Dier at 08.20.02 @ 08.41 PM |
The ICANN has shown again that they CANT get the idea that IMS/ISC is the best possible group to take care of .org . This isn't some fundless .org, nor is it some shell .org, this is a true group of people who care.

Subject: ...well - this sounds like a decent proposal!
Posted by Wilfried Woeber at 08.20.02 @ 09.10 AM |
The geeks may be talking yes/no, or 0/1, or RFC or some other strange letter combinations.
Business people may be talking thousands or millions of put your favourite currency symbol here, but the real world usually is not exactly black or white and quick profit or loss.
I think, in the long run, it's the people making the big difference - and a public trust approach is certainly a very welcome icing on top of this cake!
Knowing some of the proponents pretty well, and looking back at the privilege of working with some of them, it's a pleasure to support this proposal. Go ahead, at full speed! (And try to keep the focus :-)

Subject: Fully support IMS and ISC administering the .ORG TLD

I fully support the bid and proposal of IMS and ISC to administer the .ORG TLD. The track record of these two organizations speaks for itself... listen to it.

Subject: I support not-for-profit .org registrar without hesitation
Posted by Cengiz Alaettinoglu at 08.19.02 @ 05.31 PM |
"not-for-profit" model for .org registrar makes a lot of sense. Note that this team is capable of running the registrar better than "for-profit" companies.
