| 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 strongly support ISC's bid to operate .org.
They are the only team that is a pure non-prift
organization.

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.

.org should not be run for-profit, nor should it be run such that individual .org domain-name holders are excluded from name ownership.
ISC is the only group capable of running .org in a fully-open, transparent, stable manner, and the only group competent enough to leave the politics out of the registry -- something ICANN's been guilty of time and again.
.org isn't about turning another quick buck, or doling out trademarks in some biased sunrise procedure. It's about being the last bastion of non-commercial space in the namespace. Postel intended .org to be where individuals could register. Verisign has systematically destroyed the space segregations Postel intended, and ICANN has finished the job by attempting to completely disenfranchise anybody that doesn't pay their tithes. Individuals need a place to call home; .org is it.
ICANN has done so much wrong over the years. Giving .org to ISC is a chance for some small amount of redemption for ICANN in the eyes of the world.

These are organizations and individuals with a profound body of Internet experience, and a history of promoting the general welfare on the Net.

I own a .org domain, as well as hosting several .org's for historical sites in Pennsylvania. I think ISC would be the best choice to handle .org

I trust the folks at ISC/IMS to run .ORG in a
competent, fair, and desirable manner.
All my dealings with them have shown their
technical excellence and organizational competence.

Too many of the for profit groups use not profit groups as cash cows. Often the non profits can't
afford the experts to tell whether being sold a bill of goods or not. I've seen happen over and over again in the educational and mental health areas. I would have a hard time believing that the same thing would not happen with the domain management if run by for profit entities. Previous behavoir of ICANN and associated entities would seem to reinforce my beliefs. For this reason I believe that the .org TLD should itself be managed by a not for profit entity.

The IMS/ISC folks appear to have the .org TLD's best interests in mind
and not pure profits. Good luck to them!
