its sale of the Public Interest Registry (PIR) to a private equity firm Ethos Capital for $1.1 billion. The .ORG registry, run by PIR, supports 10 million .ORG registrants, including many of the world’s largest and smallest human rights and nonprofit groups.
Can a nonprofit (ISOC) sell a nonprofit (PIR)? Are top-level domains still global public resources? What can ISOC and PIR do to protect the online communication of millions of .ORG registrants? What mechanisms could exist to address concerns of the .ORG
community? The answers could profoundly affect Internet speech for decades to come.</span><span style="font-size:16.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3F7E9D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
