| 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: Support for Internet Multicasting Service dot ORG bid
Posted by Marshall Kirk McKusick at 07.15.02 @ 12.16 PM |
I believe that Internet Multicasting Service
is by far and away the best organization to
manage the dot ORG domain.
I agree with your efforts; domain extensions should mean what they imply.
Keep .org free.

i use a lot the internet and I'm excited to see true Internet movers making such a well-thought-out proposal
to run .org the way it should be, to benefit the people who use it and organizations too.

Subject: Support .org IMS/ISC proposal
Posted by Remus Pereni at 07.15.02 @ 06.07 AM |
Internet is like my second country (or maybe the first?), I consider it's presence and existence vital, so why would I let it's government on some profit hungry corporate entity? Would you?
I see the IMS/ISC .org proposal as a first step to normality not to mention that supporting, from the revenue stream, public interest projects is the *absolute right thing*, you have my full support.
Even if the IMS/ISC proposal is not the only proposal from an nonprofit organization, I choose IMS/ISC as the organizations who understands that end users are the most important, I think they proved that plenty times.

Subject: .org should not be controlled by .coms
Posted by Dr. Joshua Ellis at 07.15.02 @ 12.12 AM |
I agree with Adam. There is no future in allowing corporations to control the .org structure. You have my full support on this.

Subject: The right proposal, from the right institutions
Posted by Adam Greenfield at 07.14.02 @ 09.14 PM |
Stewardship of the .org domain in noncommercial hands could well keep deleterious decisions from being made that would prove irrevocable in practical terms, at least in the near term.
I heartily approve of the proposal and urge its adoption.

Subject: I support the IMS/ISC proposal to run .ORG as a public trust.

The subject says it all. I have become tired of companies milking the internet user population and not living up to the spirit of the trusts they have been given. Time for a change with the peoples interests first.

This bid for operating .org is the right thing, proposed by the right people.

Domain extensions should mean what they imply.

Back in the day I seem to remember having to justify the assignment of a .org domain. I'm in full support of having domain extensions mean what they imply rather than arbitrary assignment to whatever entity is simply willing to pay for it.

Subject: Support for IMS/IMC bid
Posted by Owen Gregory at 07.11.02 @ 04.46 AM |
Not-for-profit should mean not-for-profit. It's the heart of the Internet and it should be reflected in the management and maintenance of the .org TLD. As an individual on the web (albeit with a tiny, non-commercial .com - figure that out!) I lend the ISC/IMS bid my full support.
