ICANN has to remember that it doesnt own the Internet
and that it cant make decisions that go against the strong feelings of the Internet
community. This .org debacle is a perfect example. ICANN is NOT the governing body
of the Internet and the way things are going had better bloody not be. Remember that
if you annoy too many people then we, the Internet population, can change almost
overnight to using a different set of root name servers and then control will be
removed from your hands instantly. You will cease to exist and your power trip will
have come to an end. You management of the domain name space is a disgrace and you
are acting like spoilt children. It pains me to think that your board of directors
is supposedly made up of unbiased intelligent people but from the look of it this
is wholly untrue. Remember that American law has little to no affect in places and
I for one refuse to be bound by your un-democratic decision making processes. How
can you say what is right or wrong in a different country? How can you map your rules
and regulations on to those that exist in another country when 9 times out of 10
the morals, ethics, and culture just dont allow for it? I agree that the .org
domain should be used for non-profit purposes but perhaps this should have been implemented
when this TLD first became available. It is now too late. Just look at how many .org
domains there now are and ask yourselves how you are going to quickly be able to
police all those registrations without corruption? How can I as an individual register
for non-profit organisation status? I am not an organisation, I am a person. Perhaps
a solution would be to leave all the currently registered .org domains alone and
only allow new registrations to be bound to this new set of terms and conditions.
Even then how do I, a British citizen without affiliation to an organisation of any
kind prove to an American, or other country, registrar that I am working non-profit? Regards, Dan
