.geo Comments

More on SRI

When I read the .geo proposal put forward by SRI -- a company I had never heard of -- I did some research. SRI was founded in 1946 by a group of West Coast industrialists in conjunction with Stanford University. The link to Stanford was broken in 1970 and the name was changed to SRI in 1977. It is a non-profit, with two for-profit subsidiaries and some 20 spinoffs. The mission is rather broad: To promote and foster the application of science in the development of commerce, trade, and industry and in the improvement of the peace and prosperity of society. 1999 revenues were $160 million.

Their clients include such varied businesses as Hitachi, Visa, the National Science Foundation, US Postal Service and the PGA. I counted 12 US government agencies, too. This is a big company with a total of 1,400 clients, 65% of which are technical. They even have an "alumni association."
