The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) in partnership with three domain name registries disabled nearly 30 websites illegally offering opioids for sale. Working together as part of a pilot program jointly created by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Commerce (Commerce), FDA and NTIA aim to reduce the availability of unapproved and misbranded opioids illicitly offered for virtual sale. Based on several joint warning letters and the subsequent shuttering of numerous websites illegally selling opioids, it would appear the partnership is a success. Both agencies and the domain registries have committed to continuing this working relationship beyond the pilot program. Time will tell if the continued joint effort reduces the unlawful sale of opioids online and in turn, minimizes the risks associated with the opioid crisis.

Days For Girls, a mighty force of seamsters with a strong Stanwood-Camano chapter, won an international .ORG Impact Award for Combating the Coronavirus and the group s top prize: .ORG of the Year.
The competition for .ORG Impact Awards is run by the Public Interest Registry, which operates the top level .ORG domain with more than 10 million domain names registered worldwide.
.ORG is honoring organizations like Days for Girls for achievements that have healed, inspired, transformed and connected communities over the past year.
Award categories include: Combatting the Coronavirus; Promoting Education; Outstanding Volunteer; Championing Equality, Equity, Inclusion; Innovation; Advancing Environmental Sustainability; Fighting Hunger and Poverty and Promoting a Safer Internet.
The Registry Agreement gave the owner of .ORG the power to implement processes to suspend domain names based on accusations of “activity contrary to applicable law.” It effectively created a new pressure point that repressive governments, corporations, and other bad actors can use to silence their critics without going through a court. That should alarm
any nonprofit or NGO, especially those that work under repressive regimes or frequently criticize powerful corporations.
Throughout that six-month process of navigating ICANN’s labyrinthine decision-making structure, none of us knew that ISOC would soon be selling PIR. With .ORG in the hands of a private equity firm, those fears of censorship and price gouging became a lot more tangible for nonprofits and NGOs. The power to take advantage of .ORG users was being handed to a for-profit company whose primary obligation was to make money for its investors.
