[Chapter-delegates] FW: Ethos/PIR/ISoc statements regarding ICANN's rejection of the sale of PIR/.ORG

[Winthrop Yu]

+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?

YMMV,

WYn
