"Whether people like it or not the operation of the DNS, including .org, is a commercial endeavor."

? It most definitely does not have to be.

There's basically no reason it at all has to be commercial, it's one of the things that makes more sense to socialize, because it's not about value creation, it's public property and rent-seeking. Handing over a non-value creating cash-cow to private equity is not 'good capitalism'.
