First off, to put *anything*
into the hands of Verisign/Netsol is the *worst* idea in the world. The ineptitude
of Netsol to get anything done in under 2 weeks is widely known and their customer
service is next to nil. Then add on their lovely tendencies to sell your data to
every scumbag spammer and direct mailer under the sun. Add to that their "hijaacking"
of unpaid domains with the intent to auction them off to the highest bidder instead
of returning them to the pool of available names like they were supposed to. It adds
up to one really *bad* idea to give them control over *anything*. Secondly, as
has been stated in this forum many times already, to change the rules on .org domains
retroactively is unfair. What are those of us who run sites that are not for profit
(no ads or any other form of profit making ventures involved, thing such as family
websites or gaming group websites) supposed to use for our TLD? We're not commercial
sites so, no .com (besides which almost all useful .com addresses are already taken).
We're not networks, so no .net domains.
From the very beginning the .org domain
was expected to be used for those of us that didn't fall into the other categories
(per RFC1591
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1591.html), so why change it now? People
already have come to understand that a .org domain isn't necessarily a non-profit
outfit, so why change things and confuse the general public. As someone else suggested,
if you want a TLD solely for non-profits, then create a new one for them!
