Entrusting control of a public service to a profit-making organization can never be truly successful, a fact that is evident from so many filaed attempts around the world both on- and offline. The formation of an indepentent, non-profit organization to help run a registry is a superlative idea, not least when the leading members of such an organization are so experienced in the day-to-day life of the community which the registry supports.

Subject: Best idea in years
Posted by Zeldman at 06.26.02 @ 02.08 PM |
We've all seen what happens when registries are entrusted to ham-handed monopolies with no concept of service and no goal beyond their own enrichment.
The notion of a non-profit running this registry as a public trust is so logical, it makes you question why all registries aren't run this way.
Malamud and his associates 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.

With Carl Malamud's lengthy experience in building reusable software for the public, there is no question in my mind that he should be entrusted with the .org domain registry. With the tyranny of the Verisign monopoly over domain names causing numerous problems, it is time to start fresh. This proposal is the best way to do that.

There is absolutely no question in my mind that, 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. It is too bad that they have no chance to win based upon ICANN's clear bias for existing applicants.

Subject: support for ims to run .org tld
Posted by tom williams at 06.18.02 @ 05.51 PM |
we support ims' application to run the .org tld as a public trust
someone with knowledge, and a long term record of supporting the openness of the Internet should operate the org tld as a public trust

Subject: Endorsement for IMS/ISC proposal
Posted by Peter Mott at 06.17.02 @ 05.41 PM |
As the technical operators of .pn [Pitcairn Islands] and .aq [Antartica] top level domains 2DAY.COM fully endorses the IMS/ISC proposal for the .org registry.
ISC in particular brings a depth of experience and commitment to public service unmatched by any other possible applicant.
