In my years of experience as a software and Internet professional I
have learned
that there are several things you can rely on and
several that you can't.
You
can rely on those 'invisible' pieces of software that keep the
Internet (and
our local network) working: DNS, BIND, root files,
routers
You can not rely
on companies that suddenly appear, grow quickly and
whose concept of values consists
solely of shareholder value. They
do not tend to be around for very long.
You
can rely on a relatively small group of people who have actually
defined and
built the Internet as we know it, who have the
intelligence and knowledge and
have shown their commitment over the
years.Having seen the different offerings
for managing the .org domain I
must say I am most impressed by the IMS/ISC one.
These are the
people we need and this is a party we need: non-profit, no corporate
interests in the background and very experienced. These people
actually wrote
DNS/BIND. They know what they are talking about.
Their board is quite impressive
as well. I am convinced they are the
most reliable organization ICANN could choose
for this domain. Yours sincerely,
