I would like to make a brief comment about .org domains.
As an
individual trying to register a domain that is associated with me,
what
choices do I have?1) .com -- I could do this, but I am not a company so
this would be
somewhat strange. Furthermore, there is a lot
of competition from
companies for .com domains. If some company
has a name similar to
my last name, I would most likely have to
deal with their
lawyers... something I would like to avoid.
2)
.net -- I'm not a service provider and am in no way associated
with
the Internet infrastructure...
3) geographical domains of all sorts (including
country TLDs). I
move around quite a bit....
So of the
options currently available, the one most conducive to
individual speech by me
is .org. In fact, the RFC specifies that this
is what .org is to be used
for. If .org is made into a TLD for
non-profit corporations only, I would
strongly urge the simultaneous
creation of a TLD for personal websites.
