5) Some people would not be ok with the sale of the PIR

6) Some people would not be ok with the stewardship of the .ORG/PIR by
any non-profit Org


...in (5) i consider that the PIR was a grant (with a clear goal) to
InternetSociety.ORG,

by VeriSign ; under the regulatory recommendations of ICANN ; then
should not be sold...

The (6) is capturing the fact that Bill mentioned first here : "By and
For non-commercial"


Thanks.

Shalom,

> I think (1) is a dangerous compromise.  I’m not wild about (2), though I recognize that Network Solutions, and then Verisign, did a good job of operating .ORG; I don’t deny that.  I’m very much in the (3) boat, and feel that the only moral way forward is self-governance for non-profits, without unjustified rent-extraction by for-profits.  If there are people in favor of (4), I haven’t heard anything from them.
