Yep, it's not totally clear yet from their website. My personal hypothesis is that given an alternative recipient for the .org registry that's better in every respect except for the amount of money they're able to pour into the pockets of ICANN / Internet Society (ISOC), it'll be more difficult for these parties to pretend that the .org sale is about anything except graft. As we've see from previously, morally flexible members of these organizations (e.g. Richard Barnes [1]) have claimed that the sale of .org to Ethos is really in the interest of the public good! As details continue to come to light, these arguments are going to get continually more difficult to make. I'm not sure it's realistic the CCOR succeeds in gaining control of .org (although fingers crossed, it sounds like they'd be a far better than owner than ISOC or Ethos), but worst case, they'll force some additional transparency into the process. --- [1] http://www.circleid.com/posts/20191127_why_i_voted_to_sell_org/ http://www.circleid.com/posts/20191127_why_i_voted_to_sell_o...
