That makes sense, doesn't it? Presumably the software packages
were break software? And job opportunities for disabled people could
certainly be of interest to some people with RSI. So they want to
flag that, in their domain name, so that people with RSI will come
and look at the site.

Theoretically, the ones ending .org or .org.uk would be non-commercial,
while the ones ending .com or .co.uk would be commercial, but it's
not enforced, and anyway there's no agreed definition of "commercial",
so you can only go by what you actually find on the site.

The RSIA have registered the domain rsi.org.uk but are not yet using
www.rsi.org.uk as their website. Their website is still at
http://www.rsi-uk.org.uk/rsia/

Ellen
