As of now, the .org has been the catch-all for domains
which do not fit in the .com, .net or .edu (or country tlds) categories. It is important
that there exists a tld which can be used for personal domains, i.e. non-profit persons,
compared to non-profit organizations. Personally, I registered a .org well over a
year ago, which I use for my personal web site, my email accounts, as well as distribution
of software I have created and decided to release to the public. If the .org tld
is restricted to non-profit _organizations_ only, this would force me to register
a different domain under a different tld, and currently there exists nothing more
appropriate than .org (remember, it was originally intended as the catch-all for
all non-profit uses). So my final point is, if you do choose to restrict .org (which
I am against), there is a great need for a new tld which would cater for personal/private
use (e.g. a .priv domain). Also, should you restrict .org, will you pay the registration
fees for the corresponding .priv domain? :) /Johny
