> If you want a domain reserved for non-profits, make a new one.
Now there's a
possible answer. (Although they've demonstrated a lack of
desire to create any
new TLDs that don't have a serious profit
potential. And catering to non-profits
had BETTER not be such a
market.) We've all been registering personal domains
under .org
because we're neither network providers nor businesses. I just
registered
a personal address, and did the "right" thing by getting
one under .org.If
they're serious about taking away such domains (and the stories I've been reading
don't make this clear -- it could be just that the new owners of .org cannot try
to turn it into a new .com), ICANN will be attacking our 'Net identities. Now,
maybe they're talking about
clearing the businesses that use .org, and I can cut
them some slack
on that since they've always had a clear home in .com. But
taking
away existing .org from personal users will just cause a serious
backlash
-- and if ICANN can't see that coming, they're not thinking
clearly. (And
if they did see it coming but don't care, then they're
too arrogant to be running
the system.)
