Keep .org Non-Commercial



Currently, many large ISPs and others who offer domain-name 
registration assistance encourage customers to register in .net or 
.org if their desired domain is not available in .com.

I urge ICANN to stop this pollution of the important distinction 
between the top-level domains.  The difference between a commercial 
and non-commercial entity is very important, and should not be 
blurred.

The issue of .net is somewhat trickier, since many ISPs could 
legitimately use either .com or .net, but it would be helpful to have 
guidelines on proper use of .net, to keep it from becoming just 
another .com.  Certainly ICANN should prohibit commercial 
organization from using .org, and should have some rules on .net as 
well.
