NGOs use Davos World Economic Forum Stage to Protest Sale of .org Domain Registry

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

I honestly just hope we do not end up regretting the amount of attention
from Legislators and Government officials that this campaign is bringing to
ICANN.

Bringing our subjects to the communities outside of ICANN is definitely
important if and when we manage to properly explain the issues and things
that are being advocated for within this community, but the way this is
being done might truly be harmful to our model. (Hope I am wrong on this
one)

best,
B
