ICYMI, SaveDotOrg - an umbrella protest group organized by EFF and
Fight For The Future - organized a protest against the PIR sale at
ICANN headquarters in Los Angeles. The protest was a vehicle for
presenting a petition demanding that ICANN block the sale, which
was accomplished when members of the ICANN board came out and met
with the protesters. Former novelist Cory Doctorow, a harsh
critic, entertained the assembled throng of no less than nine (9)
protesters with a rousing speech.
