I've heard the following argument used multiple times now to justify the
transaction ...

"transaction is designed and intended to serve the public interest in two
distinct ways: (1) by ensuring the long-term growth and development of the
.ORG domain, and (2) by providing essential support for the ongoing work of
the Internet Society."

Can anyone tell me why .ORG "growth" benefits anyone other than Ethos? Am I
missing something?

I have not yet seen any argument that this transaction benefits end users,
however, I have seen added risks to end users by changing the future role
that PIR would play in the Internet ecosystem.

Cheers!
David
