I agree that .org domains should be managed with scrutiny to help preserve their created purpose... [non-profit] organizations, not commercial operations.
I must agree that .org should be run for the public trust.

Subject: Wow! What a great idea!

I think that IMS/ISC proposal is superb. Finally, a group I can
trust, who I know is not in it just for the quick money that is
possible. I hope the originators of the Internet (us!) can wrest
it back from the marketeers and spammers. .ORG is for Organizations,
not for profit!

Subject: .org is a public trust

Just a quick note in a show of support for the IMS' bid to run the .org domain.
I registered the warhol.org domain back in 1994 for the Warhol Museum among others. The idea of turning the .org into just another TLD depresses me for any number of reasons.
I hope you guys consider their offer and stop the depreciation of .org.

I can't think of a better idea for the org TLD, nor a more competent, trustworthy organization to take charge. I hope for the best; good luck.

Good luck.

Subject: Surely it's obvious?
Posted by Andy Theyers at 07.09.02 @ 02.24 AM |
The current registration system is a commercial mess. The .org tld should be maintained in a not-for-profit manner, as the domains themselves should be used. IMS/ISC have clearly demonstrated themselves to be capable and trustworthy - far more than the current registrars. It should be obvious - let's hope that ICANN see that too.

Subject: I support the IMS/ISC proposal for .org
Posted by Shmuel Mikel at 07.09.02 @ 12.33 AM |
After reviewing all of the proposals I believe that the IMS/ISC is the most technically competent organization making a bid. I also believe in their open business model and software development practices. I believe that IMS/ISC is the best choice for control of the .org TLD.
