Internet Society says opportunity to sell .org to private equity biz for $1.14bn came out of the blue. Wow, really?

Good for them, I suppose

"a huge lump sum that ISOC will receive for handing over its rights to the registry; something that Sullivan has said will be put into an endowment and used to fund the organization’s activities in perpetuity."

Yeah, whatever. ISOC sold the internet out in order to get a huge payday. It doesn't matter what the hell they do with the money -- ISOC is not an organization that operates in the best interest of the internet. I'd be perfectly happy if they stopped operating tomorrow, so being funded "in perpetuity" means nothing to me.

ISOC is a scumbag operation.
