Deadline nears to decide future of civil society’s home online

On December 19, Ethos Capital and PIR will hold a community webinar to discuss the proposed transfer of control of .ORG, which civil society continues to broadly oppose. Access Now submits the following questions to Ethos and PIR that get to the heart of the problem.

The proposed sale presents a risk of governance over sensitive data that society cannot afford to take.

This dubious deal was struck without consulting civil society groups that rely on .ORG to operate, without accounting for its impact on human rights, and without proper safeguards for the long-term health of online civic space. Join more than 130 organizations and thousands of concerned individuals in signing this petition to stop the sale of .ORG.

As we join the world to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web, we’re remembering an important moment in the battle for access to the internet for all: the launch of the #KeepItOn campaign.
