It's good to see someone trying to return the .org domain to it's intended purpose. The original intent was to support non-profit entities and the IMS/ISC proposal is the best way to ensure that.

Of all the .org proposals, I believe that IMS and ISC appear to be the applicant that can best bring stability to the .org registry and most benefit the Internet community. I give you my whole-hearted support.

I've seen the shift from the idealistic knowledge sharing of the old internet to the increasingly crass and commercial new internet, and it's vital that we have at least one TLD operator who isn't focused on shareholder value. The Internet Multicasting Service and the Internet Software Consortium is that operator, and I support their bid for the .org domain.

Considering the importance of the dot-org top-level domain to non-profit organizations, I think control of this TLD should be granted to one of those public organizations.
The .org TLD should not be turned into a revenue stream, because most .org domain holders do not focus on revenue or profit, but on public services.
I consider the IMS+ISC team to be the most appropriate entity in taking over the .org TLD. The ISC has served the public interest and helped the Internet community by developing widely-used open-source programs such as DHCP, BIND and INN. The IMS has had very good initiatives in the past, and has succeeded in all of them.
The joint bid by the two non-profit corporations seems technically and socially appropriate. Introduction of secure DNS, very fast zone publication, and complete transparency of operations are very strong arguments, in my opinion.
Keep up the good work, I hope you win!
the .org registry service should be granted to a not for profit organization, such as IMS.

I think that a non-profit TLD should be run by a non-profit company and IMS/ISC is perfect for this job.
