[governance] PIR Case/or the .org sell

[parminder]

i was wondering if there was any chance that IGC, like many other key CS
groups and people involved with IG issues, like Access and Sir Tim
Berner Lee, have done, could develop a position seeking the stopping of
.org's sale...

As for asking ISOC and ICANN some questions, I and some others here are
on ISOC policy elist and there have been hundreds of emails with
questions that have been mostly banally answered by ISOC reps, and so I
can assure you that our questions will not be much more fruitful...On
the other hand, an unambiguous position of IGC against the sale of .org
will carry some weight
