Great great post. .org works great for cities, and is clearly favorable to .net as far as geos go. It will have a lower resale value than .com but if your plan is to buy, develop, and get an income for the site, it could have a higher return on investment than .com because the acquisition cost is much lower as mentioned in the post.

More buyers required means a lower price will have to be charged.,

Steve:
I agree. However, never underestimate the “creative” minds of corporate attorneys. Always be on guard.

Interesting point, David; but not something I’d be too concerned about.

Under the well-settled legal theory of estoppel, the fact that ICANN has allowed some 1,000′s (if not 10′s of 1,000′s) of commercial operations to utilize the .org extension for many years now would likely stop any such actions…

…and hey; the heads of some non-profits earn $500k+/year.
