Subject: Supporting non profit .org bid
Posted by Beth Sutherland at 08.06.02 @ 03.00 PM |
I believe that .org should be used for non-profit endeavours. There needs to be a place on the web where the primary purpose is not for profit. Where support for community and creativity is available. The web seems to be turning into more and more of a commercial engine and I would like to add my support. The capacity for creation and expression by individuals and communities should be protected and encouraged. If .org is used as a public trust rather than for commercial gain then it seems much more likely that individual and community interests WILL be protected and encouraged.

I support your efforts 100%.
Un pequeŅo grupo de pioneros de internet quiere cambiar la forma en que los dominios .org son registrados, y necesitan la ayuda de todos.
trusted.resource.org, una organizaciŪn sin fines de lucro, quiere adminsitrar el servicio de registro de las punto-org con la confianza pblica. ICANN, que es el departamento del internet encargado de tomar tales decisiones, estar· m·s dispuesto a darle este trabajo a una corporaciŪn que a una organizaciŪn sin fines de lucro.
La nica oportunidad para trusted.resource.org es demostrar el apoyo de la comunidad. Si usamos nuestra voz de apoyo, ICANN puede darle el registro de las punto-org a le grupo m·s competente (el grupo punto-org) en vez de al grupo m·s ambicioso y mejor fundado.
SumaClick quiere apoyar este esfurezo y por eso les invitamos a participar, puede leer su propuesta en trusted.resource.org y dejar un comentario como muestra de su apoyo.

Carl said it all:
"I'm not sure how an under-funded, over-extended .com in search of a business model provides a more stable operating environment than a team of engineers that has worked together for over a decade and has built some of the largest public infrastructure projects on the net. IMS and ISC don't have "lead consultants" promising to hire some soon-to-be-recruited MIS staff. Our leaders aren't banking on .com stock options to retire. We do these kinds of projects for a living."
I vote for IMS!!!!
