Seems like the most likely route to success would be for a few big internet companies to set up a .org nonprofit and treat it as the authority, ignoring icann. Fork the tld, in other words.

This is essentially impossible though.

It sounds good but I don't see most ISPs caring.

The ISPs don't have to. You only need the major OS and maybe browser vendors.

Major OSes just use the ISP DNS server - changing that would break a lot of stuff.

For example in countries with limited internet, you need to connect to the ISPs servers (redirect from http sites) to purchase data allowances.
