Seems like the most likely route to success would be for a few big internet companies to set up a .org nonprofit and treat it as the authority, ignoring icann.

Seems like the most likely route to success would be for a few big internet companies to set up a .org nonprofit and treat it as the authority, ignoring icann. Fork the tld, in other words.
- aaomidi 7y agoThis is essentially impossible though. It sounds good but I don't see most ISPs caring.
- andrewflnr 7y agoThe ISPs don't have to. You only need the major OS and maybe browser vendors.
- aaomidi 7y agoMajor OSes just use the ISP DNS server - changing that would break a lot of stuff. For example in countries with limited internet, you need to connect to the ISPs servers (redirect from http sites) to purchase data allowances.
