The registries do not own the .org domains and have no call on making owner's profits for operating the registry service. The .org TLD, along with the other original TLDs, were created with tax payer money and the value of these do not belong to any particular business to exploit. This plan is ridiculous on its face. The .org registry operator did not put capital at risk to purchase the TLD. It was contracted as a service provider and there is no valid reason why that should change. No one can say the .org TLD is under utilized or needs marketing power behind it to make the most of it. This whole thing smacks of corruption, or at least incompetence, and I hope everyone responsible at ICANN loses their job over this. Cedric Dettmar
