Subject: The only competitor with clean hands and a sound vision?
Posted by Kenno Vanommeslaeghe at 09.19.02 @ 06.33 AM |
After having visited the websites of the competition (exept the one of the .org foundation that was down at the moment -- what a display of reliability), I found out most of them are commercial or have strong bands with commercial organisations (and I think we all agree that this is not the way to run something entirely aimed at non-profit). As for the others, UIA doesn't seem to have much experience or vision, and the Dot Org foundation seems to be an odd mix of all kinds of different interests. While this is not necessarily a negative thing, I personally rather would put my trust in IMS/ISC. So beside all positive arguments why IMS/ISC should win, here's a negative argument: the others are less worth supporting.

all tlds should be handled by non-commcial public entities.

The .org TLD must remain a non-profit TLD, and henceforth should be managed by a non-profit organization, and the IMS/ISC is the only candidate conforming to that requirement.
I hereby support IMS/ISC to have the .org TLD managed.

As witnessed by the previous attempt to manage the .ORG TLD, a for-profit company cannot adequately perform this task to the RFC specifications involved. As witnessed by the undisclosed clients of the reviewing consultancy for registrar proposals, neither can such companies be trusted to adequately review their own qualifications for this matter.
The .ORG TLD is not only a public trust, it is a sacred trust. Attempting to profit from it damages its sanctity, its respectability, its integrity. Were I to begin turning a profit from a .org address, I would attempt to register or otherwise utilise a .com in its place, as a matter of course. This is simply good ethical and moral business practice.
It is easy to give in to greed and dishonesty for most people. I believe that this not-for-profit group is much less likely to do so, due the the fact of its organizational status. Non-profits are not exempt from ethical failures, but they are more strictly bound to spend their monies in pursuit of the common good.
Not only that, but the IMS/ISC group most certainly does have the technical knowhow to perform these tasks. I believe in them and their capacity for reliable, ethical service. ICANN appears to believe in money over integrity, and bureaucratic theory over proven capability.
Which would you choose?

I whole heartedly support this movement. .org or organization. Who better to run things than the mantainer of Bind himself? Obviously there can be nothing better in my eyes than the power of the net laying in its citizens, not in some money grabbing, private enterprise. After all, it makes sense. The job is best done by those who love to do it, not those with alterior motives.
