An Alternative to .org? Say Hello to .ngo - Technology - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

An Alternative to .org? Say Hello to .ngo - Technology - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: But now the key organization that manages nonprofit addresses wants charities to adopt the suffix .ngo. It also wants to implement a process that vets organizations to ensure that anybody with the .ngo address is a legitimate nonprofit, saying that now it’s too easy to commit fraud using a .org address because anyone can create one.

The effort to find an alternative to .org comes at a time of big changes in the way Internet addresses are patrolled.
