The POLICY matter in Dot Org is about implementation of
new operational unit, size 3 million domain names. 
We have to understand it exactly.

Let me state it differently. Why dot Org is being moved ?
At which cost VeriSign accepted to do so ? At the cost they
keep the whole enormous dot Com, as Registry, and as Registrar.
They are the only one company in the world with the priviledge of
keeping millions of domain names registered, with as much 
customers registered, collecting money from the whole world.

The dot Org is an order of magnitude smaller, but still huge. 
The POLICY issue here is to devise fair conditions for dot Org 
successor, to preserve security and equilibrum of Internet.
We have to take into account important considerations related
to competition, to the worldwide origin of customers which all 
send money one direction today, to data protection, to language
diversity, etc. It is a big responsibility.
