People who have spent years to build and design a site around their .org specification
- who also stick with the previous guidelines for a .org domain, should *not*
have their domain names taken from them. p If, on the other hand, they are
abusing the previous definition of the .org (the agreement they read when they
signed up for the .org originally), then it is probably ok to take their domain
name. p The .org domain is not only for not-for-profit corporations, it has
always been acceptable for clubs, non-corporate organizations, hobby pages
and personal pages. To change this now would be a disaster to the internet
itself, whether you provide them with a transition period or not! p These
strong-arm tactics are a desperate attempt to force people to switch to the new
domain names. It's hard to change a standard, but if they start ripping
domain names away - someone should create new root servers in another country
and provide legitimate registration methods and policies. The domain name
registration should be much more open than it is now, more on the lines of usenet
newsgroups.
