[CPWG] NYTimes: The .Org Mirage

[Bill Jouris]

It seems like the column could be an argument for putting constraints on .org registrations.  But that ought to be a separate discussion from the merits of this specific sale

By showing the good that .ORG and PIR has done. PR 101.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but living in DC for 30 years, I've 
seen LOTS of .ORG sites that were fronts for corporations or other 
disingenuous actors. I know Evan is upset about the fact that it's being 
written now, in the context of this controversy, but from the 
perspective of trust, are folks (are WE?!) right to be trusting of .ORG 
domains in their current form?

The intent, from what I have read, with this piece is to do down .ORG 
and diminish its credibility by presenting negative examples. It isn't a 
question of "trust" but rather the manipulation of the public perception 
of .ORG as being just another gTLD.
