.org has never, ever been reserved for, or even the preferred home, for "public interest" or "non-profit" entities.
To transform it into one, even in perception, after the fact, does two things that, in my mind, are not very good:
- First it places those who have built their network names in .org in the position of carrying an imputation about their names that may be not merely undeserved but also not desired.
- Second, it takes one of the amazingly few open TLDs and, as a practical matter, closes the door to a greater or lesser extent on the idea that .org is an open TLD.
The answer, of course, is for ICANN to allocate lots and lots of new TLDs so that this kind of branding of a TLD can occur in a TLD name that does not have incumbents.

Excellent idea, Karl. Where do I sign up? :-)
