Hello Edward,
I'm unaware of any current plan to shift ICANN status from non-profit to profit, although some have called for such a change (see, for example: http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/technology/227726-icanns-number-is-up ).
That is right - there is no plan from either the Board or staff to change from being a non-profit entity, and I haven't heard any SO or AC make that suggestion either. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
