Member of a past bidder for .org here (Poptel)

1 .org is not a non profit and is not just for us style "non profits"

2 What ICANN (or ICANT as those of us that have had dealings with them call it) stinks to high heaven.

What should happen is a proper transparent biding process which is how it used to be done.

If icann is broken, which it seemingly is given this catastrophe handling of .org, then the solution is pretty obvious. Remake icann with a strong and clear purpose and goal of making the internet infrastructure more stable and safer. Selling off all the different part of icann to for-profit companies will have the usually effect when the goal become to farm taxes on commons.
