Girl Scouts join protest over sale of .org domain

They are among thousands of organisations and individuals concerned about the sale of the Public Internet Registry (PIR), which runs .org.
PIR was sold last week for an undisclosed sum to private equity firm Ethos Capital.
Ethos Capital said it was "committed to keeping .org accessible and reasonably priced for all".
There is so much fishy about this. Ethos was just created for this purpose, and also involved is Fadi Chehade, who was CEO at ICANN before. So it sounds very much like an inside job to rip off nonprofits.
