Well, a quick check uncovered the following sample of well-known "non-profit entities" that currently own .org domain names: TimeWarner, McDonalds, AOL, Microsoft, Xerox, CBS and, yes, NETWORK SOLUTIONS!

Does anyone seriously think that these mega-corporations will willingly surrender their .org addressses? I can guarantee that if you are the "Anthony O. Lee Non-Profit Foundation To Cure Cancer" you will NOT be registering "aol.org" in your lifetime.

With these sorts of big bucks in the .org world, I imagine that grandfathering will be done. The only question is if will apply to all of us or only the deep pockets.
