What's going to happen to .org?

Posted March 1, 2001 10:27 PM.

READ THIS: This news affects a substantial portion of the creative sites on the web and should be read and digested thoroughly. News from ICANN [via Slashdot]: "There are apparently plans to reinstate the old limits on .org domains - if you aren't a non-profit corporation, you won't be permitted to register or keep a .org domain." This will affect (amongst other creative sites, kottke.org, slashdot.org, haddock.org, fray.org, glassdog.org, interconnected.org and many many more. My personal response to the issue: .org domains prime home for creative sites. More from Metafilter.com.
