    <p>And, Aydene, you really think that there is not already an

      PIR will change to, and the bid amount contingent upon it? <br>
    </p>
    <p>At such crunch times civil society groups need to go by
      principles, not by the always sliding scales of pragmatism. It is
      true that civil society groups are not often listened to, but they
      will be listened to even less if they keep catering to
      (artificially created) concerns of immediate plausibility against
      principles. <br>

    <p>We should just put forward a 'no sale' demand -- it is up to
      'them' to heed it fully, half-way (for instance the benefit corp

      <div>All of the comments that I have seen individual ISOC Trustees
        make indicate a low level of understanding of the difference
        between a non-profit entity and a for-profit entity.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>They see PIR as an asset to be sold, like an office building,
        and believe the financial sustainability of ISOC is more
        important than meeting the public interest elements of their
        charter.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I also see a deep belief in technological determinism in many

      </div>
      <div>So I was trying to be as pragmatic as possible in what I was
        proposing.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>If this deal is happening, and ISOC doesn't seem to be
        backing down (nor in their evaluation do they believe criticism
        is sincerely held by anyone but a small number of individuals),
        then I think we need to put pressure on the Board to condition
        the sale on there being certain protections in place for
        registrants.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>PIR is transitioning into a for-profit company. I think that
        ISOC may have already petitioned the Orphans Court in
        Pennsylvania for this to happen. Ethos Capital will have a
        fiduciary duty to its shareholders, and it will be required to
        increase wholesale costs on .ORG domain names to fulfil that
        obligation. While their CEO has said they have no intention of
        operating PIR differently going forward, this is not consistent
        with his fiduciary duty. His role is to maximize shareholder
        value for Ethos Capital and act in the best interest of the
        corporation – not .ORG registrants.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>The only way we can be assured that they consider more than
        just the fiduciary interests of the corporation is to have PIR
        incorporated as a real benefit corporation (NOT a B Lab B
        Certification, which is what we are being offered at the
        moment). I think that is the best thing we can ask for at
        present.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>If PIR is a benefit corporation, this cannot be reversed,
        even if PIR is subsequently sold by Ethos Capital, and so we
        have long-term assurances that PIR will be legally obliged to
        consider societal impacts as well as fiduciary ones. But a B Lab
        B Certification can be dropped at any time if Ethos Capital so
        desires.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>ISOC's Board does not seem willing to rise to the occasion
        and to consider what is in the interests of the broader
        non-profit, non-governmental organization, and non-commercial
        communities. The Board is not in listening mode, they are just
        being defensive. I don't see that changing unfortunately, and I
        see no way to compel ISOC to listen to us. It is not a
        membership-based organization, it is essentially an independent
        trust. There are serious governance deficiencies that we need to
        attempt to address there in the future, particularly as the
        organization absorbs $1.135 billion. But the Board wants the
        money, and unless someone else steps forward offering more, they
        seem unwilling to change their mind.<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>If that's the case, I regretfully feel like we have to ask
        for what little we can get in order to try to minimize the harm
        that is likely to accrue to .ORG, .NGO, and .ONG registrants.<br>

                                <div>I have a new proposed statement

                                  change the messaging quite a bit. This

                                  advocate for stopping the sale
                                  altogether, but in the spirit of
                                  compromise and given a number of posts
                                  on this list that seem supportive of
                                  the sale, I've tried a different

                                            we are concerned that the
                                            sale of PIR to a private
                                            entity will significantly
                                            alter the Domain Name System
                                            and weaken ISOC. PIR played
                                            an important role, as the
                                            only remaining
                                            non-commercial top-level
                                            domain registry operator, in
                                            serving as a counterbalance
                                            against commercial
                                            exploitation. PIR ran .ORG,
                                            .NGO, and .ONG for the
                                            benefit of its users,
                                            whereas other top-level
                                            domains are run by private
                                            companies with purely
                                            financial objectives. While
                                            the interests of companies
                                            and users do at times
                                            overlap, they can also
                                            conflict, and when this
                                            occurs there are significant
                                            human rights implications.
                                            PIR, as a subsidiary of
                                            ISOC, could be relied upon
                                            to do what was best for
                                            domain name registrants, and
                                            has a proud history of doing
                                            just that. However, PIR also
                                            gave ISOC legitimacy and
                                            influence. It allowed ISOC
                                            to take an active role in
                                            shaping Internet
                                            infrastructure. In
                                            relinquishing its control
                                            over PIR, ISOC loses its
                                            ability to directly impact
                                            how millions of people
                                            around the world positively

                                        are behind this and other deals.
                                        And ISOC needs to be more
                                        transparent about what due
                                        diligence it did before entering
