[article] Internet Society CEO: Most people don't care about the .org sell-off =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=93_?=and nothing short of a court order will stop it

[Ayden Férdeline]

The Register has interviewed the CEO of ISOC - this is worth a read:

"I think claims that there has been an outpouring of support against the sale are overblown. If you look there is a relatively small number of people complaining. We may be overstating the feeling; most people haven't noticed. Most people don't care one way or another."

I hope we can come together to push back against this narrative, that only a small minority of people care about this sale. After all, three ISOC chapters have issued statements opposing it. Two petitions opposing it have been formed, one has 10,000 signatures including signatures from some of the world's largest and most respected NGOs. And it has generated much negative press. People do care — and for good reason. If ISOC does not hear us it does not sound to me like they understand well the concerns of the community they are supposed to be supporting.
