	DAVOS, Switzerland — Plans to sell the .org domain to a private equity
firm have international NGOs worried that civil society, which is already
faced with a closing civic space, will lose its digital commons.

	The executive directors of 11 international NGOs released an open letter
Wednesday calling on the leaders of two nonprofits — the Internet Society
and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers — to stop the
sale of the .org domain.
