.org was never down (Score 1)

The article in the Registrar was not a thoughtful and thorough. PIR has issued re-buttle. Please read the PIR comments and other blogss in: 1. We also wrote to the author of the article for The Register, and he has updated the original article http://theregister.co.uk/content/6/30760.html 2. As you've seen from ICANNWatch (http://www.icannwatch.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/19 /1422220&mode=thread), we also posted there and have had some additional positive notes posted by others in the community. 3. In addition, we reached out to the industry press, including Bret Fausett (ICANN Blog at http://icann.blog.us/2003/05/19.html#a1356), and explained the mis-information that was propagated by The Register.
