From February 5th 2009, a new policy for .org names will be in force. With this policy the .org registry takes a strong stand against the abuse of .org domains. The following matters are considered as abuse: illegal and fraudulent actions, distribution of child pornography, phishing, spam, botnets,…

The new policy contains different possibilities to stop the domain abuse. The registry can deny an application. A transfer can be cancelled or denied. The registry also has the right to place a name on the status locked or hold or not to unlock a certain name.

A while ago, a similar policy came into force for .info names.
