[liberationtech] Why I Voted to Sell .ORG

[Yosem Companys]

"In making this decision, we considered what would be in the best interests
of the Internet Society, .org domain holders, and the broader, global
Internet. The Internet Society board did not take this decision lightly. We
recognize that there is risk involved, and that we are asking the community
to trust in our assessment of the risk. ...my assessment is that Ethos is a
sufficiently trustworthy partner that the risks in handing over .org are
limited, and offset by the potential to put a large pool of capital to work
for the good of the Internet. ...To all the people who are learning about
the Internet Society for the first time as a result of this transaction:
Please stay in touch. With our increased resources, it will be more
important than ever that we work together as a whole community. I look
forward to working with all of you to make the Internet a resource to
enrich people's lives, and a force for good in society."
