We’re here because a private company has taken over .ORG I see what you’re saying in theory, but it can’t be cloudflare or a private company or else it’s more of the same.
If it's done as a coalition of the places which provide DNS-over-HTTPS, it might work. :)
Some further background on what happened. I don't see how this can be interpreted as anything other than corruption, plain and simple. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/11/20/org_registry_sale_s... "Former ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade personally registered the domain name currently used by Ethos Capital in May and it was registered as a limited company in the US state of Delaware on May 14. That date is significant becaus…
That's right but the right to get rich by corruption is the most important and most appreciated unalienable entitlement of US weenies, even more important than food or shelter or life itself. After all, in a thoroughly corrupt system all of those can be bought. Only corruption itself cannot be bought if the system doesn't already have the necessary level of corruption. It is the US's holiest mission to convince the rest of the world of the fundamental importance and indispensability of our way of corruption.

I've gone through some more of his comments and found that you were absolutely justified. Sorry for my remark.
This is essentially a hijacking of the DNS as far as I’m concerned. The sale of .org is heinous; And I’m an unabashed capitalist. There is absolutely nothing defensible about this move that I can see. Is there any argument that this is beneficial to anyone except Ethos and Internet Society? Is it even clear they have the right to sell it? Has every person at ISOC submitted conflict statements? Are they willing to com…
At the last NANOG, the keynote speaker described three instances where companies have "hijacted" the DNS.

The first "hijack" was Versisign wildcarding unregistered .com and .net domains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder). The second was OpenDNS redirecting Google searches to an OpenDNS proxy (http://web.archive.org/web/20120518025819/http://www.opendns...).[1] The third is the EDNS client subnet extension.[2]
1. Acording to the keynote this led to the creation of Google Public DNS "within 45 days".
2. If I am not mistaken, OpenDNS was an early proponent of EDNS client subnet adoption.
