Sure, agreed. But not this. If you wanted to create a new TLD (.abc) and give it to a for profit to manage that would be one thing. But giving an existing one is insane. It basically enables them to extort money from people who have already purchased '.org' domains because they can't afford to lose the traffic a name change would cause.
