<p>Let's correct the confusion - not extend it. Chapters should
stick to the high ground. <br>
</p>
<p>The PIR sale was a pivotal initiative of the current ISOC board.
So it's letter was written as a very interested party. It
responded as such or at least its response cannot be disentangled
from that motivation. <br>
</p>
<p>That is unfortunate because there is widespread and longstanding
frustrations that ICANN is delving into issues well beyond a
"technical" competency. <br>
</p>
<p>In different circumstances a statement from this community on how
the multi stakeholder functions can be effectively
institutionalised to observe and integrate competencies between MS
and international institutions and local jurisdictions is still a
"thing" that needs more buy in.</p>
<p>So it is obviously important that this community is not tarred as
"just an interested party". One reason why the future of ISOC's
ownership of PIR is a valid discussion. <br>
</p>
<p>So any further advice on the PIR sale might be best focused on
working this stuff out by establishing lessons learned and
building a consensus around our objectives institutionally. <br>

<p>+1 Richard, +1 Olivier. That "official" ISOC statement strikes
me as somewhat petty, and more importantly, i do have concerns
that it may be read as representing the sentiments of ISOC as a
whole. Will the ChAC have to draft yet another advice/statement?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">However, in my view, the allegation that ICANN didn't merely enforce a
contractual clause, but instead exceeded its mandate and violated its
bylaws, is a serious attack on ICANN's legitimacy. In my view, such an
attack should have been consulted with the membership, in keeping with the
spirit, if not the letter, of the cited policy development process.</pre>

It saddens me to have to say that the allegation did not have a
place in an official ISOC comment. It is unsubstantiated, is
indeed arguable (for or against) and I fail to see any benefit
to attacking another I-Star decision, apart from weakening the
multistakeholder model as a whole. Some countries at the ITU
must be laughing.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
