![152: Why we should save .ORG Domains - Jacob Malthouse]()
November 22, 2019

Support the message at: SaveDotOrg.org
The nonprofit that runs .ORG domains is being taken over by a private equity fund.
The Internet Society, who runs .ORG, also plans to sell the other key nonprofit domains .NGO and .ONG. All three domains will be privatized.
This is a tremendous loss for nonprofits everywhere:
- .ORG prices are going up. Price caps have been removed. The new owners can raise .ORG domain fees as much as they want.
- $94 million dollars in revenue lost. The .ORG domain makes $94 million dollars a year. Instead of supporting nonprofits, those funds will disappear into a private company.
- .ORG is the online home for nonprofits. It represents millions of non-profits and advocates around the world. As a symbol of the nonprofit community it should be accountable to them

On November 13th, 2019 the Internet Society and Public Interest Registry (PIR) announced that they have reached an agreement with Ethos Capital, under which Ethos Capital will acquire PIR and all of its assets from the Internet Society.

We interview Joshua Peskay a trusted nonprofit internet expert about what this means and what nonprofits should do now. Joshua Peskay is the Vice President of Technology Strategy at RoundTable Technology and an accomplished technology leader with more than two decades of experience leading technology change for over a thousand New York City nonprofit organizations.
