So if ".org" is supposed to be for non-profits (and not-for-profits?) and ISOC/PIR are supposed to be running the .org registry for two reasons: 1. To provide a gTLD for non-profits at an affordable price 2. To provide an ongoing income stream for ISOC Given that those are the professed reasons, then ISOC's management and diversification of its revenue stream is ISOC's problem to solve, however, selling its revenue stream should/must not interfere with the other purpose of the ".org" gTLD. A stable revenue stream like ".org" is a valuable thing in its own right. ISOC could sell the rights to that stream now, receiving a fixed amount for endowment and other investments, or it can plan around that revenue stream. Either way, the other primary purpose of the gTLD has equal weight to ISOC/IETF etc need for income.
