the most qualified to remove big business from this equation.
Everything's already been said, so I'm pretty much post to agree with the matter. Go for it !

Subject: Endorsement of IMS/ISC managing the .org
Posted by Mike Conwell at 06.28.02 @ 10.15 AM |
While I am new to this debate, I have had to endure two years of registrar's who don't seem driven by goals like customer satisfaction, just corporate profits.
Having IMS manage the suffix sounds great.
This proposal makes sense: it puts the management of a public entity (the TLD) where it belongs.
In fact, it makes me wonder why the other TLDs can't be managed this way.

Subject: IMS/IMC Will help the domain community

This is one of the best proposals/ideas I have heard of in years. The proposal brilliantly combines the grassroots intention of the .org tld, with the open source philosophy of design. Please, let the .org management go to IMS/IMC - because they actually care about this issue, and are not in it to make a quick buck, the service they provide will help bolster belif and trust in the internet community.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Ethan Schlenker

I hereby freely and unambiguously endorse IMS's proposal to be the guardians of the .org domain.

I fully support treating the .ORG tld as a public trust and I think that IMS/ISC give us the best chance of fulfilling this goal. Hopefully ICANN can move past the biases they have shown in the past and award IMS/ISC the right to perform this very important, and very necessary job.

As one of many users of the '.org' domain, I firmly support IMS's bid.

This only makes sense. What i doen't understand is why the registrar game became a commercial/competitive market in the first play. Those are people's identities they are playing with. Not exactly the thing you'd want to go to the the highest bidder.

Subject: Time to take the first step
Posted by Eric Peacock at 06.28.02 @ 08.28 AM |
Too many have been burned to justify .orgs being controlled by huge companies that make frequent mistakes they aren't willing to correct or handle in a professional manner.
I fully support .org becoming relegated by IMS/ISC. No doubt about it.
