Pete’s work on writing a book about the history of domains is one of the projects I am most excited about in 2026.
dot org is not not for profit
dotcom.press/archive/dot-org
in which:
- .org domains were supposed to be for nonprofits
- but pretty soon anyone could register one
- in 2019 ICANN removed 10% price increase cap
- then PIR sold .org to private equity
- ICANN said LGTM
- California AG said not so fast
