Well, I have to say I'm quite proud of everyone who stood up and made a fuss over this. It is blatant corruption. Keep the good fight going, folks!

Is it over yet? From how i read it, no:

'[The internet society] will vote this month on whether to approve a formal recommendation that the society “not proceed [with the sale] unless a number of conditions are met.”'

Those conditions require the release of new information and, I would assume, re-scrutinizing the decision based on that new information.

This information should reveal that indeed this is a fraudulent sale. If the information does not reveal that, there is less of a reason for blocking the sale. Really, what should be reversed is the decision to remove price-hike caps on the .org TLD.

Thanks, edited. Didn't mean to imply it's over.
