The nonprofit that runs .ORG domains is being taken over by a private equity fund.
The Internet Society, who runs .ORG, also plans to sell the other key nonprofit domains .NGO and .ONG. All three domains will be privatized.
This is a tremendous loss for nonprofits everywhere:
.ORG prices are going up. Price caps have been removed. The new owners can raise .ORG domain fees as much as they want.
$94 million dollars in revenue lost. The .ORG domain makes $94 million dollars a year. Instead of supporting nonprofits, those funds will disappear into a private company.
.ORG is the online home for nonprofits. It represents millions of non-profits and advocates around the world. As a symbol of the nonprofit community it should be accountable to them
