        <div>What baffles me is the concern on the timeline. For
          emphasis... The timeline and how ICANN is also trying to
          protect her image from the body language of the letter and
          blog. To put in perspective see below:<br>
        </div>

        <div>1. Andrew Sulivan informed ISOC Chapter Delegates on: <span
            style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><b>November 14, 2019</b></span></div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>According to the letter published by ICANN general counsel
          it says: <br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">2. "<b>On 14 November 2019</b>,
          </span>PIR formally notified <abbr title="Internet Corporation
            for Assigned Names and Numbers" class="gmail-">ICANN</abbr> of
          the proposed transaction. Under the .ORG Registry Agreement,
          PIR must obtain <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned
            Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>’s prior approval before any
          transaction that would result in a change of control of the
          registry operator. Typically, similar requests to <abbr
            title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> are
          confidential; we asked PIR for permission to publish the
          notification and they declined our request."</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>If I understand correctly, this notice should have been
          filed earlier to ICANN (at least 30 days notice) before making
          a public notice os such acquisition? I might be miss something
          here?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The fact that PIR failed to give a prior notice itself is a
          breach of the agreement to nullify the transaction.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>By the way, why did ICANN wait till the pressure was high
          in the wind before making a public statement?</div>

                    there are a number of issues that concern me here,

                    record for the newly formed Ethos, or evidence of
                    expertise in the registry field by the investors. I
                    would have fewer worries about this change in
                    ownership if (IF!) PIR actually was incorporated as
                    a Benefit Corporation (B Corp), if this sale goes
                    forward. Incorporation as a B Corp (and not just B
