Likewise. Not only a breach of trust, but since this transfer was obviously under consideration for some time, a certain lack of candor on the part of ISOC in the discussions leading up to the decision by ICANN.

The trust was not based on the dollar more, dollar less, of the yearly fees, but on the stance that PIR had about practices of an industry dominated by commercial interests.I believe that we need to have a deep discussion among ourselves before taking a decision, that should not result in a simple signature under a document, but a motivated argumentation. If and when we do this, there will be no problem in finding ourselves in the company of odd bedfellows - if OTOH we do not do this preliminary work the risk of being confused with other commercial interests and having our voice diluted, if not even misunderstood, is quite high.Cheers,Roberto On 22.11.2019, at 19:46, Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard@gmail.com> wrote: re: https://savedotorg.org I would just need the go-ahead from CPWG - put our hands up and be counted if we feel strongly enough about this on behalf of the non-profit end-users who will be impacted by this decision.. We asked for change agents and thought leaders in Montreal. We should take the lead.
