Agree. Not sure what the TLD could be though. .ngo is a bit too specific. .non (for non-profit) is a possible option.

- 2pointsomone 7y agoBoth good ideas! I would have probably come up with .public or .world or something less representative of organization legal structures.
- JuettnerDistrib 7y agoIsn't .www the obvious choice? ;)
- chrisseaton 7y agoWhy do you need a special TLD for these organisations though? Having non-profit tax status tells me about zero about the organisation.
- sdenton4 7y agoAnd .gov tells you nothing about a government organization, and .com tells you nothing about a commercial organization... Oh, wait.
- chrisseaton 7y agoRight, so why worry about it?
- jedberg 7y agoWhy does everyone think .orgs are all non-profits? My personal domain is .org and has been for 20+ years. I chose .org because .com and .net were taken. I don’t ever recall anything where anyone even mentioned non-profits in relation to my .org registration.
- bradleyjg 7y agoI registered my personal domain in the summer of 1999. I vaguely remember that Network Solutions was the only option (you had to fax them) and for .org I would have needed to provide some additional justification. Maybe that changed after the monopoly was broken?
