Benjamin's concern about .org holder awareness and engagement.

[Remmy Nweke]

Thanks Joan
Despite NTEN covering the entire technology landscape on this, as you said,
its VIP that NPOC also engages on its own to give members within the
internet precise ecosystem the required sense of belonging as not everyone
knows about NTEN and that NPOC is collaborating with them as far as this
.org controversy rages. As you can see, there is a lot of ignorant or
misconceptions on how we got here with .org and or how it should have
evolved with regards to rights and data not withstanding, moreso if PIR
board was in the full know and could do nothing to safe the day regardless
the interest of their distinct communities.
For me all the while the community was busy discussing the beauty or
otherwise of cap price, this was part of the game plan and was not an
overnight deal.
Regards
Remmy
