Subject: .org should be for non-profits, not dot coms
Posted by Larry van Kampen at 07.01.02 @ 09.54 PM |
Having .org run by a for profit organization is illogical. Verisign is horrible, don't let a company like them mismanage this. Then take away .com and .net from them. Their egregious methods must be stopped.

It is very important for the industry development.

Subject: Vote of Confidence for IMS/.ORG
Posted by Dan Rubin at 07.01.02 @ 06.35 PM |
I just wanted to add my vote (and that of our entire company) for seeing IMS in control of the .ORG registry. I will be glad to speak in person or write on paper my support as well.

I fully beleive .org should be taken care by a non-profit organization and put in public trust. The IMS proposal is what many of us with public interest would like to see happen.

Subject: I strongly endorse the IMS/ISC bid to run the .org TLD
Posted by Tavis Rudd [via bot] at 07.01.02 @ 06.00 PM |
Among the applicants, the ISC/IMS bid is the most technically competent and offers the best chance of an open, transparent, and fairly-run registry. ISC in particular brings a depth of experience and commitment to public service unmatched by any other possible applicant. They are competent, knowledgeable, and have a long history of doing good on the Internet. The same cannot be said of any organization currently running a web registry.ÝÝ

Subject: .org should be a public trust: IMS/ISC
Posted by Ben Hubble [via bot] at 07.01.02 @ 05.56 PM |
IMS/ISC is a competent, public interest-minded group that is not totally focused on the "easy money" of domain registration. The .org registration rights should got to a true not-for-profit organization

The online world would be a better place. Good luck!
The IMS/ISC non-profit bid to operate the .org registry as a public service is clearly more likely to be in keeping with the spirit of non-profit and religious organisations of any denomination. Distributed control of these public internet resources by non-monopolistic, non-commercial, wholly independent individuals is the most democratic and appropriate assignment of this service.

I'm all for it.
I wish IMS and ISC would have bid to take over .us. Maybe it's not too late to beg neustar for control over the RFC1480 namespace.

Subject: Please protect .org - let IMS manage it
Posted by Richard Blumberg at 07.01.02 @ 02.22 PM |
Over the past couple of years, ICANN has lost a lot of credibility with a very important constituency by casting its lot with the fat cats - the monied interests. Here's a chance to regain at least some of that credibility by restoring the one TLD that was originally reserved for the use of public organizations to a governing body that will honor that purpose and manage the domain with responsibility and integrity. I support the IMS proposal.

Subject: Just plain logical

.Com is meant for profits.
.Org is meant for non-profits.
Let .Org be truly non-profit --for the backend as for the frontend.
