[NCUC-DISCUSS] Senator Warren and others send new letter re: sale of PIR

[Wisdom Donkor]

Senator Warren and five other lawmakers have written to ICANN yesterday
regarding the proposed sale of the Public Interest Registry:


*"The Ethos Capital takeover of the .ORG domain fails the public interest
test in numerous ways: it threatens the quality and reliability of .ORG
websites, and could severely limit access to these domains via price
increases and 'arbitrary censorship,'" wrote the lawmakers. "And the
current commitments and agreements made by Ethos Capital fail to mitigate
these risks."*
