Sylvain, I will only respond to this phrase of yours, as the rest has already been dealt with in my earlier message:

"...please, let me know when you will try to sell the .BR registry to a for-profit company."

Interesting that you think I have this kind of power :-)

Completely different of .ORG, which is looked at by different organizations as a common good but objectively does not operate as such, I repeat, since the beginning of its commercial operation.
