| 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.

Subject: more people like IMS/ISC
Posted by Michael Geier at 09.03.02 @ 07.24 PM |
...and maybe we could get rid of SPAM too!
Why would anyone want to trust a commercial company with a top level domain DNS when major commercial ISPs (whom I won't mention here) and other companies can't even keep their own local DNS servers running for their customers?
DNS stability is vital to the working of the internet. ISC/IMS makes sense to me.

I believe that most of the .org registrant are not porfit organistation. ISC is more capable of handling such non-profit projects than any for profit organisation.
I support ISC/IMS

Most of the technical information on your site is way
beyond my depth. Nevertheless, I like your style and
fully support the notion that TLD .ORG should be
operated in the public interest and actually mean
something. I know that is a lot to ask but hey
give it a shot.

IMS is the obvious choice; people who know what they're doing, whose primary aim is to do the job as well as possible for the benefit of users sums up the ideal of the Tim Berners-Lee's web.
I strongly support your proposal to become the .org TLD administrator. You're clearly in touch with the roots of the Internet as a community service, not a commercial opportunity. Let me know how I can help. - Chris

Subject: Keep .org non-commercial

I've been using the internet since 1990 and partaking in all of its diversity (not just the web). I remember the sell out of INTERNIC to NetSol and their blatant abuse of the internic domain. There is no way that a commercial entity can manage a resource that is meant for non-profit usage without bias.
I support your bid for the .org TLD.

Subject: Support ISC/IMS running .org TLD
Posted by Douglas G. Allen at 09.02.02 @ 09.08 AM |
After having looked at the proposal of ISC/IMS and having used services provided by either on or both these organizations over the last several years, I believe they are capable and have demonstrated the ability to administer the .org TLD.
It is my opinion, based upon previous experiences with the orgainzations that they can and would do the job in an unbiased manner. Also, since the .org TLD is the place where non-profit organizations reside, I feel it is appropriate to have non-profit organizations running the day to day operation of the domain.

The Internet is becoming far too commercialised, and anything that will help the average user rather than some faceless corporation is a good thing, especially in this case. Good luck.
