I wanted to cross-post (from Bleahh) the IMS/ISC bid to become the administrator of the dot-org TLD. It’s almost hard to believe some times just how awful Verisign is. Yet another horror story about a domain getting sold out from under the rightful owners appeared yesterday on Zeldman, and it makes me nervous that a domain for which I recently acquired high-level responsibility (private site, so no URL) is up for renewal in under two weeks. Which is worse: that it may have already been renewed and we’re stuck with them for another few years? or that it hasn’t yet been renewed and I risk having it sold to the next schmuck who thinks it’s a cool name?
Hence, I’m doing my part to spread the dot.

You can go and post a message of support, ideally after reading at least part of the IMS/ISC proposal.
