I hope this doesn't stop the AG from completing their investigation of ICANN which is a non-profit based in California. They should still subpoena all the communications at ICANN related to the proposed ownership transfer of .org that is outlined in the original letter to ICANN.

- syshum 7y agoI am sure that ICANN is hoping the matter is just dropped now.
- rndgermandude 7y agoI am sure the PIR/ISOC and Ethos Capital are hoping this even more
- rvnx 7y agoA couple of dozens of millions of dollars in lobbying to their favorite parties may help them to think the right way
- sbarre 7y agoYeah, unfortunately, the truth is probably that they are regrouping and planning a different and more defensible path to the same outcome, and will just try this again in a few years.
- ohashi 7y agoICANN did leave door open if they could convert PIR to a for profit in PA. I hope PA AG has something to say about this.
- LurkersWillLurk 7y agoCan you describe this door? The Pennsylvania AG is pretty good, although probably not as technically inclined.
- ohashi 7y agoIf you read the end of the full statement (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-04-30-en https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2...) "If PIR is able to provide additional information that resolves the concerns raised by the Board, PIR remains able to re-submit or initiate a new Change of Control Request." That's how they concluded, leaving the door open if they can manage to get past this hurdle.
