Revamping .org is a mistake |
Message: |
|
Although .org was originally
intended purely for
non-profit
organizations, the total lack of enforcement
on these names has lead
registration of these domains by several organizations
who have built
identities around them. Furthermore, a greate number of open
source
projects have chosen to use the .org moniker instead of .com to
indicate
their less commercially oriented nature.Let this ship sail. If you wanted
to enforce .org stricly you should
have done so long ago. It's too late
now to go back and change
things, and frankly I can think of few reasons to do
so. If you want
to have a domain for non-profits only, then make up a new
TLD to cover
that (.np - non-profit? .charity?).
