Let's drop the requirement that the server is from a "official" .gov domain, wouldn't it be possible to be operated by some NGO-type entity?

Another possibility... couldn't this be operated by PBS, which would then have an extra audience and potentially create new ways to generate revenue?

Technically, yes, that's totally doable. However, whatever NGO is operating the instance would still have to get buy-in from administrations and officials that this is the server to join. You'd still likely have contractual and service-level obligations.

But I'd imagine that it's probably less red-tape than a government entity self-hosting their own Fediverse infra.
