[CPWG] Meeting Details - Today: The Future of .ORG: Community Engagement' Webinar

Fri Feb 28 00:03:00 UTC 2020

 As best I could tell, he was saying that with the additional money they could create new (unspecified) services for registrants.  Or maybe for end users.  But what those might be was left entirely to our imaginations.  
I get the impression that the existence of such new products and services is an article of faith in the venture capital world.  Sometimes, they turn out to be correct.

 I'm listening to the presentation now. 
Did anyone understand the answer to the question about how end users benefit from the Ethos/PIR transaction? 
The PIR CEO gave an answer which confused me. He said the benefit has something to do with how improving the .ORG brand will improve the brand of registrants? or end users?
Can someone help me understand what he said, and how it relates to an identifiable benefit to end users?
Thanks,David

Folks, 

I will be unable to make the call later today, but I strongly believe that there is one question that has to be asked to Ethos - that is the one I have asked yesterday to PIR but did not get an answer to.

The PIR Board selection process is of the paramount importance. Up to now, this was done by the ISOC Trustees, and we were guaranteed that at least the PIR Directors were committees to the ISOC values and shared a vision. This is no longer true, as I assume that Ethos will appoint the future PIR Directors. What is the mechanism that we can design in order to ensure that the profiles of (at least part of) the PIR Board is sensitive to the problems and culture of the non-profit and non-commercial world?

Please consider asking this question in my absence - if you feel that this is an issue.

Cheers,

Roberto
