[governance] PIR Case/or the .org sell

[Sheetal Kumar]

Dear Bruna, all,

Thanks for sharing these links.

Are other members of the list organising any information sharing or
sessions which will discuss this topic at the IGF in Berlin? Access Now
mentioned some possible actions on this at our pre-event on Monday...It
would be great to get more information if possible at all!

Best
Sheetal.
