I think it's worth noting some of the timeline of this [1]: > On May 13, 2019, ICANN announced that they would remove the price cap on .org registrations (despite 98% disapproval in public comments [2]) > On May 14, 2019, the private equity firm Ethos Capital was founded by former ICANN chief executive Fadi Chehadé and investor Erik Brooks. > On November 13, 2019, it was announced that the Public Interest Registry (that manages .org) had agreed to be acquired by Ethos Capital, as its first investment. > Subsequently, PIR announced it would abandon its non-profit status to become a B Corporation. Is the author unaware of this, in on the deal, or just remarkably naive?
