If by the Internet community you mean Internet users, about 0.1% of them are .org registrants and other 99.9% are not. The arguments on the internet-policy list have entirely been about the sale's purported effects on .org registrants. When Andrew said that the PIR deal will have no effect on ISOC's support of the IETF, he meant it. I was there when we approved the sale, I know the numbers, I know he's right. If any topic of interest to 0.1% of Internet users is fair game here, we're going to have an awfully chatty list. R's, John PS:
