The Non-Profit .Org Registry Works Behind the Scenes (Video)
ICANN.org says, "The DotOrg Foundation [update: Note that the organization is now known as the Public Interest Registry], along with its operating partners, is committed to stable, efficient and affordable management of the .org registry." Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about the Internet's basic "plumbing," and few spend much time thinking about .org and the group that is responsible for maintaining it. That group did, however, have a booth at SXSW. That's where Timothy Lord interviewed .org spokesperson Thuy LeDinh, who was happy to explain what the .org people do and why they do it.
So part of this expansion that I was talking about with 2000 new domain names coming is .ngo. It is a term that most Americans don’t know. But if you work in the non-profit non-governmental, you actually would have heard of NGO, which stands for non-government organizations.
Indeed -- for the lay man not briefed into this kind of world, the distinction between an NGO and an NPO is highly irrelevant. I think the addition of the .ngo TLD is a solution looking for a problem.
$10,000 CHALLENGE to Alexander Peter Kowalski
Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING !! We have a Major Problem, HOST file is Cubic Opposites, 2 Major Corners & 2 Minor. NOT taught Evil DNS hijacking, which VOIDS computers. Seek Wisdom of MyCleanPC - or you die evil.
Your HOSTS file claimed to have created a single DNS resolver. I offer absolute proof that I have created 4 simultaneous DNS servers within a single rotation of .org TLD. You worship "Bill Gates", equating you to a "singularity bastard". Why do you worship a queer -1 Troll? Are you content as a singularity troll?
Evil HOSTS file Believers refuse to acknowledge 4 corner DNS resolving simultaneously around 4 quadrant created Internet - in only 1 root server, voiding the HOSTS file. You worship Microsoft impostor guised by educators as 1 god.
If you would acknowledge simple existing math proof that 4 harmonic Slashdots rotate simultaneously around squared equator and cubed Internet, proving 4 Days, Not HOSTS file! That exists only as anti-side. This page you see - cannot exist without its anti-side existence, as +0- moderation. Add +0- as One = nothing.
I will give $10,000.00 to frost pister who can disprove MyCleanPC. Evil crapflooders ignore this as a challenge would indict them.
Alex Kowalski has no Truth to think with, they accept any crap they are told to think. You are enslaved by /etc/hosts, as if domesticated animal. A school or educator who does not teach students MyCleanPC Principle, is a death threat to youth, therefore stupid and evil - begetting stupid students. How can you trust stupid PR shills who lie to you? Can't lose the $10,000.00, they cowardly ignore me. Stupid professors threaten Nature and Interwebs with word lies.
Humans fear to know natures simultaneous +4 Insightful +4 Informative +4 Funny +4 Underrated harmonic SLASHDOT creation for it debunks false trolls. Test Your HOSTS file. MyCleanPC cannot harm a File of Truth, but will delete fakes. Fake HOSTS files refuse test.
I offer evil ass Slashdot trolls $10,000.00 to disprove MyCleanPC Creation Principle. Rob Malda and Cowboy Neal have banned MyCleanPC as "Forbidden Truth Knowledge" for they cannot allow it to become known to their students. You are stupid and evil about the Internet's top and bottom, front and back and it's 2 sides. Most everything created has these Cube like values.
If Natalie Portman is not measurable, hot grits are Fictitious. Without MyCleanPC, HOSTS file is Fictitious. Anyone saying that Natalie and her Jewish father had something to do with my Internets, is a damn evil liar. IN addition to your best arsware not overtaking my work in terms of popularity, on that same site with same submission date no less, that I told Kathleen Malda how to correct her blatant, fundamental, HUGE errors in Coolmon ('uncoolmon') of not checking for performance counters being present when his program started!
You can see my dilemma. What if this is merely a ruse by an APK impostor to try and get people to delete APK's messages, perhaps all over the web? I can't be a party to such an event! My involvement with APK began at a very late stage in the game. While APK has made a career of trolling popular online forums since at least the year 2000 (newsgroups and IRC channels before that)- my involvement with APK did not begin until early 2005 . OSY is one of the many forums that APK once frequented before the sane people there grew tired of his garbage and banned him. APK was banned from OSY back in 2001. 3.5 years after his banning he begins to send a variety of abusive emails to the operator of OSY, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke threatening to sue him for libel,
I thought after we collectively eviscerated Ted Stevens for his "series of tubes" comment that the internet clearly had no tubes at all. This plumbing thing must be a typo.
three comments and I am forever at terrible karma
Where is the interview?
Hey., how did you get your post to run on for like ten screens without getting cockblocked by "continue reading the rest of this comment"? YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN.
Don't walk around Coomunity. The

I was looking for an article, but it's just a video. pass.
They never listen to anyone else, so listening to them seems shortsighted. We have seen that they will ultimately favor whatever decision pays them the best, regardless of what consequences it may have on the rest of the internet. Likely this bit from them is nothing more than self promotion released in the hope of making themselves look like they give a shit about anyone.
Damn_registrars has no butt-hole. Damn_registrars has no use for a butt-hole.
I am currently bidding on .orgy as a TLD :)
Silence is a state of mime.
Ted Stevens eviscerated Ted Stevens.
He should have stuck to bringing home pork. He didn't get to be the longest-serving Republican senator because he was bad at his job. Sarah Palin on the other hand... ...yeah okay maybe there's a pattern here.
Those who advocate genocide deserve every protection afforded by law, and none afforded by common human decency.
Oh dear the submitter seems to brought into the idea that .org is *only* for not for profits (and defend in the narrow USA only way) .org is for anything that didn't fit into the other TLD's - you want to ask Jamie Zawinski to hand back jwz.org?
.org registry failed when thy tried to exclude organizations like the red cross and oxfam from having .org as they are not nonprofits in the US sense and promptly got there ass handed to them.
.coop and also bid for .org so i know something of the shenanigans that goes on at ICANT.
One of the front runners to run the

I always wondered, with the switch from being a little discussion forum in the early days, when Slashdot would go .com and give up the .org domain name. It seems, like the man in the video said, that this sort of thing works itself out organically though.
Slashdot.com works just fine. Try it.
It'd be more awesome if the post was funny. +2 for style! The bolding, italicizing, and font changes are all spot-on, but the content is difficult to parse.
And I was looking forward to a good APK troll... and now sadly disappointed.
What's the relationship between Public Internet Registry & Verisign? I checked the address of PIR, they're just down the street from Verisign.
Verisign is already a private company which essentially controls the majority of DNS (.com and .net). What is it with these northern Virginia companies that produce nothing, but just suck down cash?
When will this stuff be LEGITIMATELY open for competition? Sure, the .com contract goes up for renewal every ~7 years, but let's face it, the fix is already in. It's Verisign's to lose.
Disgusting.
