INTERNET SOCIETY TO MANAGE '.ORG'
ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has tapped
the nonprofit Internet Society to manage domain names ending in ".org"
beginning next year. Currently, those names are managed by VeriSign Global
Registry Services, whose contract expires Dec. 31, 2002. ICANN officials
say the Internet Society plans to create a new nonprofit organization,
dubbed the Public Interest Registry, which will subcontract with Afilias to
handle the registration business. Afilias also operates the ".info" domain
name. (AP 15 Oct 2002)
