The .org top-level domain was first created in October 1984 by the <a href="http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/org.html">Internet Assigned Numbers Authority</a> (IANA), as part of its implementation of the <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc920">RFC 920</a>. Though the RFC limited the scope of the .org domain to non-profit organizations or to organizations of a non-commercial nature, over time the scope of the domain has expanded to include any entity, whether organizational or individual, commercial or non-commercial.
