This will not happen, as the Global Journal is a media and not an NGO. The .ngo that I am talking about is not the profitable business PIR has invented to monetize its dot org database with NGOs, as well as trying to become a "judge" for which entity is or isn't an ngo. I am convinced that PIR marketing director is well aware of its sale objective when thinking of PIR's new milky TLD. So it is very unfortunate that PIR is playing such a game with the non profit sector and NGOs. What is the legitimacy of PIR, and based on which methodology or criteria can PIR/ISOC/ICANN can establish/certify when an NGO is an NGO and when it isn't an NGO? Will PIR make a difference between an NGO and a BINGO (such as PIR) - BINGO is for Business NGO. If PIR was itself an NGO why then to monetize their .ngo? There are plenty of these BINGOs in the ECOSOC database as part of their usual corporate lobbying efforts to play by the multistakeholder book.

As a media itself, the Top 500 NGOs platform is operated with a .net and I do pay my fees to ICANN on that. So no need to dig+trace when it is currently not pretending to be operating under a top500ngos.ngo.

No. A domain name that was created back in 2010 with a .net and is up since then was not set - sadly- by using Open-Root. I regret it. To shift it in the future is a possibility. Thanks to your email, I'll think about it seriously.

I am very happy with that change, as Open-Root responds faster than my former ICANN resolver. Then, I invited anyone to do so by changing their DNS settings in their own device and computers. So maybe you are able to enter my personal settings and penetrate my computers to check that, and maybe prove to the entire world that I am some kind of a "liar" - please provide us the results of your kind investigation.

We are working hard on this as you can imagine. But now you can also dig + trace Open Root and tell everyone in the list if Louis Pouzin exists or if he and Open-Root are a fake.
