Bret is a consultant for the DotOrg Foundation.
What he also doesn't point out is that nearly all of the 5 or so nonprofits that endorsed their bid are in the BUSINESS of offering validations and would stand to benefit from the proposal.

Gartner is hardly a .org kind of entity either.
I have heard rumors that the Gartner Group wasn't exactly disinterested - the rumor is that among the applicants that were evaluated were some who are Gartner customers.

Bret:
The evaluation team's report made some very specific arguments as to why it has doubts about the validation proposal.
It's disappointing that your post here, and DotOrg in general, has chosen to attack the team rather than answer those arguments. If the report can be shown to be erroneous in some way, it is not too late to change it.
Let's try one more time. DotOrg proposes to sell "buttons" to .org registrants that say "I am a validated nonprofit" for display on their web site. The NCDNHC report points out that DotOrg could sell these buttons now, or at any time in the future, regardless of who is operating the registry of .org. There is no reason to link that service to control of the registry --UNLESS there is some intent to use validation as a basis for restricting entry into the domain.
Can you tell me what is false about that argument?
