| 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.

anyone who's dealt with a [commercial] registrar knows that the registrant often comes last. it's time to end these capitalist chirades and choose a registrar who honestly cares for those of us who manage nonprofit and not-for-profit sites.

Subject: .org is a public trust

Thatís the rigid truth that world is spinning around the riches, and the real model is left last. No money worshipper can create a magnum opus to nourish the audience eye, as the world is taking a leap from an industrial society to an information era, there is a need of genuine sharp brains to augment the grimy faces of those cash keepers and information lockers, a need of enormous alliance to let .orgís break in the audienceís court to their heads and adapt their intellect. I am being a web designer eager to broaden the motto .org is a public trust, so take a fresh grip on your mindís eye and let the good oneís pass through. =)

Subject: Keep it public
Posted by Graham Lampa at 06.29.02 @ 09.00 AM |
I recently got a .org address for my own personal site because I do not plan to use it for commercial purposes and wanted a domain that would not be tossed around and shuffled around like all the others. Make the .org domain a public trust and put it in the good hands of people who know what they are doing, both technically and professionally. I trust my fellow web designers, content producers, and colleagues. I do not trust faceless corporations who just want to turn a buck on non-profit orgs.

How much longer must such an important resource be controlled by people who have demonstrated that their only consideration is their own lust for money? Sound principles, and not profit, should be the TLD administrator's concerns. I fully support this proposal.

Absolutely, good luck.
Not only should the .org domain be in trustworthy hands, but lets try and get the other TLDs more publicly accountable...

Subject: The best choice
Posted by g. stanley at 06.29.02 @ 03.10 AM |
Even if commercial registries had not shown themselves to be at times less-than-responsible on important issues like customer service, having a non-profit run the dot org registry would clearly be the best, most logical choice.
I strongly support the IMS proposal.

I may have to move it around a bit on my root page but its there (http://www.farlops.com/journal/00000171.html). ICANN has ignored the public's voice in TLD administration for too long. It's time to start taking things back!
