We do NOT support this proposal.
While some qualified organizations with a .org registration well funded, the majority are small organizations relying on member donations for their support and existence. In many countries, domain registration is restricted to a single organization. Enabling monopoly abuses of power is outside of the ICANN charter and should be avoided in support of an open internet.
Thank you.
