Here's the initial letter being sent from EFF & others to ICANN and the Internet Society: https://www.eff.org/document/coalition-letter-sale-public-interest-registry https://www.eff.org/document/coalition-letter-sale-public-in...
(Disclaimer: I work for the Internet Archive, and we are one of the initial signatories to this letter.)
- DarkmSparks 7y agoThank you and good luck.
- cobookman 7y agoHas the broader group thought about just buying their own tld? With a better governance model.
- ohashi 7y agoWould it matter? You're already locked into years, maybe decades, of brand building. You'd still need to redirect your old .org indefinitely. .ORG should be properly managed and regulated, we shouldn't need to attempt to rebuild something because ICANN is corrupt and Internet Society is selling out non profits they promised to serve.
- jlokier 7y agoNot just brand building. How many accounts are linked to your email, and how many of us have had that email on a .org for 10, 20, even 30 years in some cases. Do you even know how many accounts have that email address as either the primary, or backup/recovery email? An email address is central to identity management these days. Lose a long established domain, and you might lose access to most of your other internet accounts, especially the ones you don't use every day and are hard to remember.
