Message:
As far as I know, ICANN has *always* used icann.org as its main address, as is proper given that it's a noncommercial organization. And the latest proposals regarding the status of .org call for it not to be restricted, but for it to be put in the hands of a registry or sponsoring organization (the exact details not yet set, including whether this would be a for-profit or not-for-profit organization) that would target the marketing of the domain to the nonprofit sector, but not actually restrict who could register as this would be impractical given the current unrestricted status. --Dan Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dantobias.com/
