The former CEO of ICANN was involved in Ethos Capital, the private equity trying to acquire .ORG. One of the two employees of Ethos Capital was a former ICANN VP. It was orchestrated by ICANN insiders.

It's not ICANN the entity, if it provided a real benefit to it the outcry would have been much smaller.

It's people inside ICANN abusing their position to strip ICANN and the web of things worth a lot of money for their own benefit.

Wrong question. The right question is what do the specific individuals at ICANN have to gain?

$$$$$$$

Quite.
