## What Jamie wrote

This was a big fight, and I’m glad to see that the good side prevailed.

> Today, the ICANN Board made the decision to reject the proposed change of control and entity conversion request that Public Interest Registry (PIR) submitted to ICANN.
> 
> After completing extensive due diligence, the ICANN Board finds that withholding consent of the transfer of PIR from the Internet Society (ISOC) to Ethos Capital is reasonable, and the right thing to do.

Transferring .org to Ethos Capital would have damaged the very top-level domain meant to house non-profit organizations.
