You should not have to be an official non-profit to have a .ORG address. All
existing .ORG addresses should be grandfathered, and any domain that is not used
for profit should be allowed to get a .ORG address.Note that this is seperate
from non-profit organisations, since there is a lot of work involved in aquiring
that status.
Up till now, .ORG has been the natural place for all sort of non-commercial
entities, such as local clubs. Requiring non-profit status will eliminate many
of these small groups.
.NET is supposed to be for networks and service providers.
.COM
is supposed to be for commercial entities.
