Unfortunately, the changes to the .org toplevel domain means that
individuals
and non-incorporated organizations are shut out of the
domain registration process.
The rules for domain registration are
laid out clearly in RFC 1591: ORG - This
domain is intended as the miscellaneous TLD for
organizations that didn't fit anywhere else. Some non-
government organizations may fit here.
This isn't limited to only
non-profits entities and leaves the door
open for any type of organization.
Why the change? This means that
people who have used .org in the past as
a sort of miscellanous
toplevel are being completely shut out of the process.
