I have registered my family name (buberel) as a .org domain name. I use this to provide
a _permanent_ e-mail address for myself and my family. Even though I am not a registered
non-profit corporation, I see no reason why I should be forced to give this up SO
LONG AS there is no legitimate non-profit organization with which my name conflicts.If
there was a case in which a person had registered a a .org name that was a a protected
trademark of a known non-profit organization, ICANN would be justified in revoking
that person's ownership of the domain name.
In all other cases, leave well enough
alone!
