WTF? .org TLD sold from a non-for-profit to a private investor? why on earth? did ICANN/ISOC need funds that badly? Why not look for community-based solution? I guess the internet will not be like it was before @ICANN @internetsociety https://www.internetsociety.org/ ...
Domain Name Wire
After ICANN lifted price caps on .org domains in June, the Internet Society has sold Public Interest Registry, the top level domain's operator, to PE firm Ethos
Ethos Capital, led by former ABRY Partners Managing Partner, buys .Org registry. — I thought this might happen. And now it has.
