Names.org a domain name I’m pretty sure I have seen recently for sale on NameJet.com just sold on Sedo.com for $18,000.
On Namejet.com I saw an auction for this domain end on March 13th, at around $12K with NameJet Reserve as the high bidder, meaning that the domain did not reach the undisclosed NameJet reserve.
Other .Org domains found buyers on Sedo.com
The domain Amira.org sold yesterday for $20K and the domain Rally.Org sold for 10,000 Euros which is about $14K.
Congrats to all Sellers and Buyers.
.org has a lot of credibility in the domain community and among the general public. It’s undoubtedly the second best TLD after .com
Agree with that, for some “classic” .org applications it is even regularly chosen over .com
Btw., randomactsofkindness.com just sold on Sedo for $5K. The .org already last year for $25K.
If the CLONE mapping of .XXX to .ORG names catches on you have cheap Adult Content domains
The auction just ended or Sedo has posted this as a done deal?
Big difference. Could be another deadbeat.
Yup I like org too, adds credibility esp for organizations or some sort of help site. Org is definitely not for product related. I managed to hand reg livingwithptsd.org
30 days ago.
because I and many of you suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Domains
and best of all I got offers to sell already

Names.org is listed on their site which usually means a done deal, money was paid domain was transferred
The other two sales that I linked to are not yet complete
I drive Rallycross as a hobby.
Rally.org is a great name for that community, or more likely, used for political action, thus taking advantage of the .org.
“taking advantage of the .org.”

As people realize there are no new gTLDs likely coming soon, people will probably turn to .ORG to build software kluges. Oh Well
The way the new software works is:
ICANN.XXX will query the ICANN.ORG nameservers for NS records for ICANN.XXX
[NAME].XXX maps to [NAME].ORG as “First Right of Refusal”
In most cases, the .ORG nameservers will not know about .XXX
the resolver will move to the next stage
IETF and ISOC
By Vint Cerf, 7/18/95
A bit of history
The Internet Society (ISOC) was formed by an number of people with long-term involvement in the IETF. As a result, one of its principal rationales was to provide an institutional home for and financial support for the Internet Standards process. This rationale still exists today. In 1990, it appeared that long-term support for the standards-making activity of the IETF which had come primarily from research supporting agencies of the US Government (notably ARPA, NSF, NASA and DOE) might need to be supplemented in the future, either because such support would diminish or that requirements would exceed the limits of available support. Even at that time, attendance fees were used in part to offset on-site costs which otherwise would have had to be borne by US Federal funding.
