Re: new domain names

For more information on the future of .org see http://www.handsoffmy.org/

There is a proposal by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers) to take back .org names and use them exclusively for non-profit
organizations.  Hands Off My .ORG has tons of information about this
situation and what can be done to prevent it from happening.

Subject: new domain names


: I was trying to find out more about the new domain names and I was
wondering
: what the significance of the .info was supposed to be.  Does anyone really
: take these dot names seriously any more?  Everyone is a ".com" even if
they
: aren't a commercial venture.  Lots of ".nets" are not in the business and
: ".org" has been used by individuals who can't get the ".com" they are
: seeking.  What's up with this stuff?  Should I worry about it?
:
: I want to get a domain and have been agonizing over this minutiae as if it
: was important, but some folks tell me I shouldn't.  What's the group
think?
