Subject: .org is being redelegated. You should have your say


Dear .org domain owner,

We are writing to you as the owner of the domain name 
BODACIOUS-TATAS.ORG. 

You may be aware that ICANN has announced that it intends to reallocate
the operation of the .org domain space to a new registry later this
year. Please help us to understand how services can be improved by
taking just a couple of minutes to answer the following ten questions
and sending a reply to this mail (just click REPLY, and fill in the 10
boxes below)

Please indicate how much you agree with the following statements:

(Use a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is strongly disagree and 5 is strongly
agree, and place your answers between the square brackets indicated)

1. I believe .org domains are mostly for non-commercial organisations
    [ ]

2. I would like to see the .org registry promote a stronger vision
for common good
    [ ]

3. The .org community should be in favour of good causes
    [ ]

4. I support the idea to create a charitable fund to specifically
support worthy causes within the .org community
    [ ]

5. It is a good idea to allow people with .org domains to decide
themselves which good causes money should go to
    [ ]

6. I would like to be able to vote for which good causes receive money
from a .org fund
    [ ]

7. I would like to be able to apply for money for good causes from
a .org charitable fund
    [ ]

8. (Please answer all boxes) I would be prepared to pay up to
(see alternatives below) more for my .org registration if the money
went to good causes within the .org community
    [ ] 4.99 USD
    [ ] 2.99 USD
    [ ] 0.99 USD

9. It would be better if commercial organisations (.coms) used their
.org domain to demonstrate how they benefit the community (rather than
just for brand protection)
    [ ]

10. I would like  to see commercial organisations sponsor more local
community projects
    [ ]


To help us categorise your answers could you tell us which one the
following applies best to your .org sites (please place an X in one box)
[ ]   Community site
[ ]   Religious site
[ ]   Art and culture site
[ ]   Science/health site
[ ]   Issues/political
[ ]   Code development/computing/technology site
[ ]   Charity/good cause site
[ ]   Commercial site
[ ]   Other site

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Hakon Haugnes

anything from us in the future.
