The Internet Society has proven itself to be an untrustworthy steward of .org by even contemplating this now derailed sale. How can .org be put under control of a non-profit public benefit corporation with a mission restricted solely to running the gTLD?

The Cooperative Corporation of dot-org Registrants (CCOR)

I was thinking the same. This very act shows a severe lack of judgment in stewardship. ICANN should find another more deserving, more trustworthy organization to oversee .org.


ISOC is also over other important things including ietf.

Instead of moving .org. There need to be some accountiblty and/or leadership change inside of ISOC


We'll deal with that later. Right now, ISOC needs weakening. We need to shift .org over to https://www.ccor.org/


So, will they announce selling IETF to Elsevier tomorrow?


Are there any other TLDs that are under the control of a non-profit in this way?


Many of the ccTLDs are. I don't know about the gTLDs.
