Protesters held signs saying “Save Dot Org” and brought with them a petitionwith 35,000 signatures asking ICANN, the nonprofit which basically sets policy and maintains the internet’s domain name system, to block the sale. More than 700 organizations, from Greenpeace to Girl Scouts of the USA, backed the petition.
ICANN originally statedthat the organization was powerless to intercede in the sale of the .org registry but has since changed its tune.
According to Amy Sample Ward, the CEO of NTEN, a nonprofit for nonprofit professionals, ICANN did not have a “coherent” response to the planned protest and initiallytried to shut it down. The attempt was unsuccessful. Eventually, a board member came down to talk with the protesters and accept their petition.
Ward saidthat ICANN Board Chairman Maarten Botterman relayed to her that the board “does see this as an important issue, they don’t want the .org domain to be ruined, and that they are taking this seriously.”
The sale of the .org registry to private equity has many nonprofit organizations worried. Public Interest Registry (PIR), run by the nonprofit Internet Society, has long overseen the .org domain extension. However, shortly before the sale, ICANN removed specific terms, such as price caps from its new contract with PIR to manage the .org registry.
Critics of the deal believe Ethos Capital will take advantage of the price cap removal and raise prices of .org domain registrations and and renewals in order to recoup the $1.135 billion it paid to acquire the registry.
It remains to be seen if ICANN will take action to halt the sale of the .org registry.
