Packet Clearing House warns .ORG websites to suffer downtime under Ethos Capital management

[Ayden Férdeline]

Sorry to send another email on this topic; I probably should have offered some additional context. [The Register](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/12/17/icann_org_purchase/)offers this description of the Packet Clearing House and why it is qualified to comment on .ORG:

"Packet Clearing House is largely unknown outside technical circles but it is a key company within the internet’s infrastructure: it helps host the domain-name hierarchy's root servers and provides DNS for top-level domains using machines in nearly 200 locations across the globe. Critically in this case, it is also a key technical partner for .org and has provided DNS services to the registry for the past 15 years, even as ownership has changed hands."

Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline
