[ncdnhc-discuss] Resolution on .org and protection of existing domain name holders

Fri Feb 8 23:35:00 CET 2002

James, and all,

it seems to me that after the DNSO NC TF and the DNSO itself has expressed
itself about "grandfathering" present .org domain name holders, this
resolution goes over ground that has already been covered.

I second Adam's precaution against putting up resolutions just to fill the
time. I also repeat my idea that the way to go is from discussions to
resolutions, more than viceversa.

The price of a .org registration has been regulated by the US Department of Commerce.  This regulation led to decreases in the price of .org registration.

Many .org domain owners would find it extremely costly to switch domain names, and are vulnerable to abusive pricing practices of the .org registry.
