[Fwd: ORG: numbers may count]

[Norbert Klein <norbert@forum.org.kh>]

Dear friends at different communication points,

though I know that not all of you follow the discussions in ICANN - the 
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - in detail, there 
is again reason for alarm: the administrative framework for the top 
level domain name .org may change, by selling this domain off (probably 
to the highest bidder), and then access to use this name, and pricing 
may change.

If you need more information, I can send you references, but if you are 
prepared to act without this, I would like to invite as many owners of 
.org domains as possible to sign the protest page under reference below.

Greetings,

In many places, including this list, people are discussing
for over two weeks now about the proposed change in ORG.
Despite the massive protests, I am still not sure the ORG sellout is
off the table. So I have set up a very simple protest page, which I
invite all ORG domain name owners to sign. Numbers may help... There
is not much "discussion" on the page, since this has been amply
covered elsewhere. Just a clear "no", since numbers of
"stakeholders" may count...

Please, have a look at:

http://org-domain-name-owners-lobby-against-icanns-sellout-to-verisign.org/

If this doesn't work (some browsers cannot handle the maximum length
of domain names...), try:

http://disgrace.org/

Just to make sure: no email addresses will be published, just domain
names...

Thank you for your time!
