<div dir="ltr">This letter and their <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/org-update">blog post</a> is very good I think. They refer to the sale as a <i>proposed</i> sale no less than 8 times, call for transparency, and appear to recognize their public interest responsibility in ensuring that "the .ORG registry remains secure, reliable, and stable." Now for ISCO and PIR to respond with full disclosure.
