[Chapter-delegates] FYI - new post - The Sale of PIR: The Internet Society Board Perspective

[Enzo Puliatti]

Dear Gonzalo,

first of all, I would like to thank you all for the effort done in sharing
your views with us and for answering our concerns. Thanks also for the blog
that resume pretty well the issues discussed.

I would like to share my concern with a statement I have heard during the
call that I also find stated in the blog:

“we will no longer be reliant on one single revenue stream, from one
company, in one industry”.

Maybe it’s only me but this statement strikes me: we are those who have
made it happen so far and if there is a problem with the single revenue
stream coming from OUR industry, the one we have relied so far upon, means
that there is a real problem we have to face and fix. Being comfortable if
such a problem exists but will not affect our revenue stream sounds more
like a statement from the board of a company with a purely speculative
approach aimed to maximise its revenues and profits.

Independently from the issue we are currently discussing, I would like to
say that personally I feel quite happy in ISOC relying on a revenue stream
coming straight from our industry and that in any case I personally cannot
see this as a plus in favour of the sale of the PIR. Even if it’s a
financially sound approach sounds pretty bad to the ears of those thousands
of activist that during all these years have worked as volunteer dedicating
time and money to our cause.

Best regards,

Enzo Puliatti
