<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Andrew, all,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for the opportunity! If this reaches you in time, my questions would be:</div><ul><li>
Does the board acknowledge that the PIR sale is causing substantial harm to the reputation of the Internet Society?Has the blowback re the PIR sale from the community surprised the board (see
<a href="http://www.circleid.com/pdf/ICA_Letter_to_ICANN_Board_201911115.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.circleid.com/pdf/ICA_Letter_to_ICANN_Board_201911115.pdf</a>
and
<a href="https://www.eff.org/document/coalition-letter-sale-public-interest-registry" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/document/coalition-letter-sale-public-interest-registry</a> for example) and does this cause them to reconsider their position?</li><li>
When did the board become aware of
Former ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé being involved in Ethos Capital and did this or would this have influenced their view on the PIR sale?
