It seems like the column could be an argument for putting constraints on .org registrations. But that ought to be a separate discussion from the merits of this specific sale Bill Jouris Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, Dec 5, 2019 at 11:07 AM, John McCormac<jmcc@hosterstats.com> wrote: On 05/12/2019 18:56, Jonathan Zuck wrote:
How would an "expert" have approached this topic of trust in .ORG? By showing the good that .ORG and PIR has done. PR 101.
I'm not trying to be a jerk here but living in DC for 30 years, I've seen LOTS of .ORG sites that were fronts for corporations or other disingenuous actors. I know Evan is upset about the fact that it's being written now, in the context of this controversy, but from the perspective of trust, are folks (are WE?!) right to be trusting of .ORG domains in their current form? The intent, from what I have read, with this piece is to do down .ORG and diminish its credibility by presenting negative examples. It isn't a question of "trust" but rather the manipulation of the public perception of .ORG as being just another gTLD.
