Sorry, but this comes from a world where black is white and white is black.
So far, the position of the Board (further confused by the press statements
from Mike Roberts) has not been made clear.
It seems that Verisign "expects" that ICANN makes .org strictly
non-commercial. Is there a quid pro quo somewhere?

There is such a thing as a pretty watertight commitment and that is what
the Internet community and especially the Individuals holding .org names
are waiting for.
Do we have to make the policy  formulation  here? Easy enough.
