For all the good you've done in the past and now, Richard, this is just one long disappointing read. Between the lines, the text is "we don't have the people to maintain PIR and decided that rather than hire people for it, we should sell it" and then a for-profit shell was set up and PIR was funneled over to it, and now it's no longer your problem to have to deal with. From your perspective, that's not making things better: that's walking away from them. And now you've made it _our_ problem, one _we don't have the power to fix_ and from our perspective, that's not you making the internet better: that's making our internet worse.

> "we don't have the people to maintain PIR and decided that rather than hire people for it, we should sell it" Except, unless I am misunderstanding something there, they had outsourced running the registry to Afilias anyway? So it's not even that ...

For PIR, an organization that literally does nothing but collect money as it has outsourced all of its principal obligations, they sure have a hugely inflated wage bill at an easy 5 million a year, for a ton of various directors and VPs. If anything, this has been a good wakeup call that fees for .org could and should be slashed by some 80%.
