> and Expanding a program to award .ORG prizes to promote the success and positive impact of non-profit organisations.

WTF?

So, non-profits collect donations from people who want to support their respective missions, and now these scammers come along and want to use a monopoly to redistribute those donations based on what they think who the donations should go to, and then even want to be recognized for their "work" of forcing the redistribution of donations?

If there is one thing the .org registry could do to "promote the success and positive impact of non-profit organisations", then that would be to optimize their business as much as possible and offer the cheapest domain registrations on the market, so that non-profits can keep as much of their money as possible to spend on their core mission.

Even these bullshit "promises" would still be blatant corruption, you really have to wonder how much of a moron Vint Cerf is for not seeing that.
