Subject: Important Role for Non-Profits

I think this is an incredibly important issue for non-profits. Granting .org public trust status is vital for ensuring public access to the Internet, and a great vision of the future of the World Wide Web.

Subject: I support the IMS/ISC proposal to take ownership of .org

Far better in their hands than in Verisign's, or any commercial/governmental agency for that matter. I trust that these people will run it right, not fleece their customers and make everything work.

Subject: the .org tld should be managed as a commons

I support the IMS proposal, the .org domain should be managed
as a commons in the public interest rather than as
a for-profit fiefdom of a commerciall interest.

The .org domain should be run by a true non-profit, not a for-profit organization hiding behind a non-profit front. The IMS folks are proposing to run .org in true non-profit manner, low cost for users and high quality support. I support them.

Subject: I support ISC and IMS in turning .org into a public trust
Posted by Eric Johnson at 07.04.02 @ 09.18 AM |
the .org tld should be managed as a non-profit public trust. I fully support ISC and IMS and hope that ICANN will see the virtue of this idea.

Subject: I support the IMS/ICS proposal also
Posted by Bob Crandell at 07.04.02 @ 08.07 AM |
.org should be supported by not for profit organizations.

Subject: .org should not be controled by Verisign
Posted by August Kull at 07.04.02 @ 04.27 AM |
Verisign is a for profit entity and .org should be in an open and transparent environment which allows public inspection. verisign is not it!
