[Chapter-delegates] PIR and wikileaks.ORG

[Veni Markovski]

Thanks, Anya.

This is a good case also to educate people about the way domain names
work. May I suggest that Isoc puts on their web site (or Pir) some
document explaining what registries, registrars, registrants do? For
the general public this is all unknown territory, and it is a perfect
opportunity to inform more people about Isoc, Pir, and .org

My 2 cents.
