Selling .ORG registrations to businesses is one of the most unfair
and inexcusable betrayals of the Internet that NSI has perpetrated.
It is also a blatant violation of the RFCs. NSI must either cancel
all commercial registrations in .ORG, or ICANN must create a new TLD
exclusively for non-commercial entites. 

Amidst all the loud clamoring of trademarks and famous names for
protection, we the legitimate non-commercial organizations are
having our TLD (not to mention our SLDs) sold out from under us. 

The hypocrisy of these craven and despicable ICANNers is without
limit.
