Why this petition matters
Started by Jacob Malthouse
Have you heard the news? Control of the .ORG domain is being sold to a private equity firm.
Nonprofits around the world rely on .ORG. It's become synonymous with the nonprofit sector.
Yet the Internet Society has decided to sell it, in a betrayal of its 2002 promise to have all .ORG decisions driven by the nonprofit sector.
Over twenty-four organizations including the European Climate Foundation, the Electronic Fontier Foundation, and the National Council of Nonprofits have signed a letter in opposition.
You can read the letter with their concerns.
Can they count on your help?
