To be honest, not sure I get what these people are trying to do. Something about using the “.org” domain and getting Microsoft as sponsors for some conference. Anyway, this kind of summarizes it…
“According to Edward G. Viltz, President and CEO of PIR, .ORGanize 2006 under which strategic use of the Internet for the .org community is designed to create confidence and build awareness in the Internet as well as educate the not-for-profit community on the benefits of the .org domain. While .ORGanize 2006 will focus on the importance of Latin American non-profit organizations and individuals getting online.”
There is, however, an interesting fact about Internet penetration in Ecuador…
“The internet usage in Ecuador is an interesting paradox. Ecuador has an internet penetration rate of 5.5% an increase of over 200% over the past 4 years,” said Klaus Stoll, President of ChasquiNet and a charter member of the .org Advisory Council. “There are still however many barriers to getting online, as well as, lack of trust in the internet. This conference will address these issues so that additional Ecuadorians can more confidently get online.”
I think I can see the queue [to get into the conference] from here
