> The level of corruption on display by the three organizations involved in this scam: ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), ISOC (The Internet Society), and PIR (Public Interest Registry), is astounding and very illegal.
If these organizations are so corrupt, then them selling .org simply demonstrates that they're too corrupt to manage it. We can't simply reverse this, you're just handing it back to the entity that sold it.
So... what do we replace them with? Because I'm pretty sure you'll get a new organization made up of people who will be as fallible and prone to corruption as any of these organizations and Ethos are.
- criddell 7y agoGreat point. If you click through to savedotorg.org they say this: > We cannot afford to put them into the hands of a private equity firm that has not earned the trust of the NGO community. The private equity firm hasn't earned the trust of the NGO community and the current caretakers have lost the trust of the NGO community. So what now? So why not let them sell it and then found .ngo (or something like that).

- deogeo 7y ago> So... what do we replace them with? Don't replace the organizations - just prosecute their corrupt members. That will keep in line their replacements.
