These are questions for the ISOC Board not the ICANN board.

Dear all,

What do people think about sending a letter to the ICANN Board with a series of questions in order to get more transparency? Bruna and I discussed this, and chatted to others, and are wondering what you think of this approach. As the Board will meet and discuss the sale as part of a due diligence process, we thought it might be a constructive approach to request they consider and answer certain questions.

It would be great to hear your views on this approach and on the questions. See below:

When the board discusses the sale of .org, we request that these questions are considered in the due diligence process:

- What does the Board intend to do in order to protect the existing millions of .ORG registrants?
- After the changes to the .ORG contract to preserve existing rights of .ORG registrants, how else does the Board intend to ensure the sale of PIR (this new steward of .org) will act on behalf of the public interest and the world community of noncommercial, civil society groups in the world?
- What's ICANN's obligation to protect those organizations engaged in missions of "public interest around the world?"
- How does the Board respond to allegations/concerns regarding possible conflict of interest in transference of stewardship to Ethos capital

Best

None of the above parses.  Please try again, with simpler construction.  You can break it out into as many sentences as you like, but please try to make each one encapsulate exactly one thought.  Else nobody is going to be able to engage in a constructive conversation with you.

...what's the point please, dear Bill ?
Do you really want to convince me without argumenting ?

Shalom,
--sb.


                                -Bill
