In a month when the frenzy of patriotism over Britain's Le Mans challenge reaches a peak, we reflect on Jaguar's last victory at the Sarthe thirty-one years ago.
1957 was a memorable year in many respects for the British at Le Mans. In a year when the Automobile Club de l'Ouest was celebrating its fiftieth anniversary and lap and distance-records were shattered in all classes, the coveted Index of Performance went to a British entry, there were 12 British cars among the 20 finishers out of a field of 54, and Jaguar bowed out with a hat-trick, and five wins in total.
With the new World Sports-Car Championship regulations for 1957 encouraging prototype cars, production racers became obsolete, resulting in Jaguar withdrawing its D-type from competition after the 1956 Le Mans. Being very fast and reliable, however, it still stood a good chance in a 24-hour race against the experimental prototypes.
Duncan Hamilton and Ecurie Ecosse, therefore, bought ex-works D-types which the factory rebuilt with the new, larger, 3781cc engine.
Whereas Hamilton opted for Weber carburation, Ecurie Ecosse chose the new Lucas fuel-injection system which had worked well at Sebring earlier in the year. During practice at Le Mans, however, the team just could not get the 3.8 engine to run smoothly; it seemed very sensitive to changes in humidity.
"Wilkie" Wilkinson decided that the only way to solve the problem was by the arduous method of continually altering the settings and trying them until the problem was resolved. Along with Geoff Johnson of Lucas and patron David Murray he took the car onto the public roads on Saturday morning to give the car a final sorting.
Ron Flockhart, the 1956 Le Mans winner, and Ivor Bueb, ex-Jaguar works driver and 1955 Le Mans winner, were given this car, while Ninian Sanderson and Aberdonian "Jock" Lawrence drove the second string Ecosse entry with the well-tried 3.4 Jaguar engine. Duncan Hamilton shared his 3.8 D-type with Masten Gregory and a fourth D-type, the yellow and green Belgian 3.4, was driven by Paul Frère and "Freddy" Rousselle. The fifth private car was the French blue 3.4 of Jean Lucas and "Mary" (Pierre Brousselet).
The only other production cars entered were Dickie Stoop's 1954 Frazer Nash, the Ken Rudd AC coupé and a German-entered DKW. All the rest were new sports prototypes: 19 Italian, 11 French, six German (Porsches) and 10 British.
Aston Martin was still trying to win Le Mans and, fresh from its victory at the Nürburgring, had brought two DBR1s and a DBR2, the latter being a DBR1 with an experimental 3.7-litre engine. A French-entered DB3S completed the Aston line-up. There was also a pretty Arnott coupé, and Jack Brabham was entered in a Cooper with Ian "Puddlejumper" Raby, but the sensations of practice were the Team Lotus entries.
Colin Chapman planned to attack three class-records; the 1500, the 1100 and the 750. He also considered that the aerodynamically-efficient Lotus XI, with its powerful Coventry Climax engine, would stand an excellent chance of winning the prestigious Index of Performance. Frank Costin, the aerodynamicist who had designed the Lotus XI body-shape, had also designed a new low-drag wrap-around windscreen which fully met the letter of the FIA regulations for high windscreens, but was such a large double-curved affair that the cars were almost coupés!
The Index of Performance, as written, is a simple formula: "miles actually covered" divided by "distance set according to capacity". It is this latter minimum distance for each class which makes the system arbitrary. By dint of long ownership, the French considered the Index of Performance their own special preserve; for six of the previous seven years it had been won by one of the small aerodynamic French 750s.
Each manufacturer was invited by the ACO to enter only three works cars; any others had to be reserves. Chapman's paperwork for customs and scrutineering showed three entries, one 1500cc and two 1100cc, plus a reserve car. The reserve just happened to have a 744cc engine.
The largest of the Lotus entries was the 1475cc Climax FPF-engined car for American Formula One BRM driver Herbert MacKay Fraser and Californian Lotus concessionaire Jay Chamberlain. It was the latter's first visit to Le Mans, yet he did a 4min 33sec lap, when the previous year's outright record was 4min 20sec! Next out was Fraser, who shattered the 1500cc class record with a 4min 28sec, but Chapman, nominated as reserve driver for the car, then went round in 4min 25.2sec!
The next sensation was in the 1100cc class. Lotus' chief mechanic, one Graham Hill, went out in the brand-new French-owned Lotus XI and pulverised the 1100 record with a 4min 56sec lap.
With good things always coming in threes, the next event should have been foreseen. Chapman now called the 744cc Lotus XI an official entry, and re-labelled one of the 1100s as reserve. Lotus works driver Cliff Allison took the car round in 5min 24.6sec, more than 20 seconds faster than the previous best 750 time. The gauntlet had been thrown down.
Sceptics, and the French, hoped that the singleton British 750 class entry would not last — after all, the engine was actually a short-stroke Climax 1097cc — but although the red line was at 9000 rpm, Chapman gave his drivers instructions not to exceed 7500. The 1500 Lotus dropped a valve near the end of practice, as Chapman called in the reserve 1100.
Porsche brought the brand new 1498cc 7I8RS, three old 5500 and two 356A coupes. Maglioli in the 718RS could only achieve 4min 30sec in practice, five seconds slower than the Lotus.
France had eight entries in the 750 class; four DBs with Panhard engines, three Panhard Monopoles, and a VP with an exciting new Renault engine. There were two Gordinis, one a 2-litre six, and the other a very fast 3-litre eight, and lest the history books forget, two Dubonnet Talbots with 2.1/2-litre Maserati engines and attractive spyder bodies by Campana of Modena. One, however, was not fast enough to make the grid, and the second refused to leave it!
The Italians were the force: there were five Maseratis, ten Ferraris, plus three Stanguellinis and an OSCA to compete in the 750 class.
Maserati had to be most favoured, for it was at its apogee. Fangio had already won the first two Formula One Grands Prix of the season, and the big 4.1/2-litre sports-car had romped home at Sebring. The factory brought two of these monsters — the Sebring car for Behra and French Maserati concessionaire André Simon, and a second car for Stirling Moss and Harry Schell.
Frank Costin had designed a low drag coupe shape for Stirling Moss to give him that little bit extra down Mulsanne, but Zagato received a great deal of criticism from the Press for a very badly produced and finished body, and from Stirling for the lack of thought which had gone into driver-comfort. The coachbuilder had not translated the Costin design exactly and so the car was difficult to climb into; and once the driver was installed, it became apparent that his fresh air was being supplied direct from the engine compartment! Worst of all, the car was slower on Mulsanne than the spyder, although that may have been due to incorrect ratios being fitted so the car would only pull 5800 rpm when 6800 was available.
Sensations were becoming commonplace, for there was Fangio sitting on the pit-counter. Since the 1955 disaster, he had said that he would not race at Le Mans, but his Formula One Maserati contract had forced him to come. Hawthorn went out in the big 4.1-litre Ferrari, knocked over 15 seconds off his 1956 4min 20sec lap record, and recorded the first lap at over 200 kph; but Fangio then went out and bettered it, smashing the four-minute barrier. Hawthorn's partner Luigi Musso then put in a 3min 59.2sec, to which Fangio replied with a shattering 3min 58.1sec — a lap average of 127 mph!
The Ferrari force was a mixture of experimental engines and body colours: two 4.1s, a 3.8 and a 3.1, as well as 500 Testa Rossas, with Belgian yellow and French blue mingling amongst the Maranello reds.
Fifty-four cars lined up in echelon for the start: 19 Italian, 17 British, 11 French and 7 German (the French were ahead in the driver stakes with 46, then came Britain 26, America 10, Belgium 10, Germany six, Italy six, Holland two and one each from Sweden and Australia, with the usual disquieting mix of Grand Prix drivers and club racers). After all the excitement in practice, you might be excused for thinking the race would be an anti-climax. Far from it. With 29 Fl drivers in the line up for the 25th Grand Prix d'Endurance, we were going to be treated to a Formula One-style spectacle!
The start was still "run across the road to your cars" in 1957. Moss might have been quickest as usual, but the Costin coupé was difficult to get into, and then would not start, as running rival Peter Collins was first away in his Ferrari, leaving the obligatory black rubber in front of the howling horde pursuing him. Into the Esses for the first time it was Collins (Ferrari), Salvadori, Whitehead, Brooks (Astons), Gendebien (Ferrari), Guelfi (Gordini), Frère (Jaguar), Behra (Maserati) and Bueb (Jaguar).
At the end of lap one, Collins roared through three seconds ahead of Tony Brooks, having clocked 115.7 mph for the standing start lap! Moss was third, having overtaken twelve cars on that first lap, followed by Gendebien, Hawthorn, Salvadori, Bueb, Whitehead, Frère, Lewis-Evans, Lucas (Jaguar), Guelfi, Swaters (Ferrari), Scarlatti (Maserati), Sanderson (Jaguar) and Gregory (Jaguar). Behra's Maserati was already falling back.
On lap two it was Hawthorn, Moss, Brooks, Gendebien, Salvadori, Barb, Frère, and Whitehead, with Collins' Ferrari back in tenth spot sounding very rough. Next time round, Hawthorn had pulled out an incredible 7.1/2 seconds on Moss and Gendebien, with Bueb up into fourth place. Collins went into the pits and retired with a broken piston.
Hawthorn continued relentlessly. On lap six he was 19 seconds clear, on lap ten 30 seconds, and by lap fourteen 42 seconds up on Behra, now recovering in second place. Third was Moss, then Gendebien, Bueb, Brooks, Gregory and Salvadori — the race was between two Ferraris, two Maseratis, two Jaguars and two Astons.
As the fuel load lightened, the pace got faster and faster. On lap 20, Hawthorn had broken the magic four-minute barrier with a 3min 59.6sec (123.66 mph), while the Hamilton Jaguar was credited with fastest speed through the MuIsanne trap at nearly 180 mph. After two hours there were only seven cars on the same lap, and seven had retired. Among these were Moss' Maserati coupé with back-axle failure, the two Gordinis with over-revved engines, and the great French 750 hope, the VP.
If the spectators thought practice had been sensational, then the race had them on the edge of their seats, with records being shattered faster than the ACO could report them, and a drama on every lap.
After 30 laps the cars were allowed to refuel. Behra handed the leading car over to Simon, who promptly suffered the same back-axle failure as Moss, and had to push the big car for more than three miles in an attempt to get it back to the pits. At 6.30pm Flockhart overtook Brooks' Aston, and Jaguar went into a lead it was never to lose.
As ever at Le Mans, the "Grand Prix" might be over, but the race and the dramas continued. The Hawthorn/Musso and Gendebien/Trintignant Ferraris both went out with piston trouble (as had the Collins/ Phil Hill car); the Lewis-Evans/Severi car (Martino Severi was Ferrari's chief tester) lost its brakes but continued; the Aston Martins all suffered gearbox trouble and two were out by midnight; then Brooks hit the bank at Tetre Rouge and overturned, taking the new 718RS Porsche with him. Brabham had the clutch-cylinder come adrift but he fixed it and got back to the pits.
The second-string Ecurie Ecosse car had meanwhile been climbing steadily up the leaderboard, and at 7am it took second place from the Frère/Rousselle Jaguar. Ecurie Ecosse was now first and second, followed by two private Jaguars. Despite only having some 300 bhp, against the 400 plus of the newer prototypes, the reliability of the Jaguars was paying off.
Duncan Hamilton would have been up there in fifth place, but had had his own dramas. First, his lights went out when doing 180 mph at night on the Mulsanne straight, just before the kink. "I just guessed where the kink was," he said later, "and turned the wheel hopefully." He somehow got the car back to the pits at undiminished speed to fit new bulbs. Then the ignition started retarding itself, burning a hole in the exhaust manifold, and the cockpit started filling with smoke and flames. "The only way to keep from burning the seat of my pants," drawled Masten Gregory, "was to keep my foot to the floorboards." The Jaguar was just unable to catch the Lewis-Evans Ferrari in fifth place.
Still, the Ecurie Ecosse cars crossed the line in formation to win for the second successive year, with the French Jaguar third and the Belgian one fourth, and the sole remaining works Ferrari trailing in their wake.
The Belgian Ferrari 500TR came seventh, winning the two-litre class, with the white-and-blue Ed Hugus Porsche 550RS eighth, winning the 1500 class. Fraser and Chamberlain's Lotus won the 1100cc class in ninth, and Ken Rudd and Peter Bolton came tenth in the bog-standard AC Coupé followed by the French DB3S winning the three-litre class. The Lotus 750 came 14th overall, claiming its class and, as hoped, the Index of Performance.

Alibaba's on-demand online services unit valued at $30 billion: sources
Kane Wu, Julie Zhu
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Alibaba Group's newly formed on-demand online services unit has rocketed in value to as much as $30 billion after raising $4 billion in fresh funds, people with knowledge of the situation told Reuters.
FILE PHOTO: People stand near a sign of Alibaba Group at its campus in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, May 27, 2016. REUTERS/John Ruwitch/File Photo
Alibaba (BABA.N) combined the operation of food delivery service Ele.me and online restaurant guide business Koubei under a single management team and holding vehicle in October. It announced a fundraising plan for the vehicle in August.
In a deal in April where Alibaba bought the shares it did not already own, Ele.me was valued at $9.5 billion. Koubei was worth $8 billion at the end of last year, according to a list of unicorns published in March by a unit under China's science and technology ministry.
More than $3 billion of the new funds came from Alibaba itself and SoftBank's (9984.T) Vision Fund, the people said. Primavera Capital Group and Alibaba affiliate Ant Financial, which have already invested in Koubei, also joined in the fundraising, they said. The company expects to close this financing round by the end of November, one source added.
Alibaba, SoftBank and Ant Financial declined to comment. Primavera did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The people declined to be named because the information is confidential.
Alibaba said in August it had received commitments of more than $3 billion from investors including itself and SoftBank.
The fresh capital will give the unit ammunition in its intensifying battle with rival Meituan Dianping (3690.HK), backed by Tencent Holdings (0700.HK), for dominance of China's booming online-to-offline (O2O) market where apps link smartphone users with bricks-and-mortar businesses to provide food delivery and other offerings.
Meituan Dianping in September raised $4.2 billion in the world's biggest internet-focused initial public offering in four years, after pricing it near the top end of a marketed range at HK$69 per share.
However its shares are down 9 percent since its Sept. 20 debut, giving it a current market cap of $44 billion.
Meituan said in its half-year report that the number of its annual active users from the 12 months ending June 30 grew 30 percent to 357 million from the same period a year ago. The number of merchants active in the past year grew 52 percent to 5.1 million for the same period.
In comparison, Ele.me served over 167 million active consumers in 676 cities in China for the 12 months ended June 30, Alibaba said in its latest quarterly report. Together, Ele.me and Koubei served 3.5 million registered merchants as of June 30.
Before the April deal, the e-commerce giant and Ant Financial owned a 43 stake in the business, whose name roughly translates to "Hungry?". Ele.me also runs Baidu Inc's (BIDU.O) former food delivery business, which it acquired a year ago.
Koubei was founded in 2015 as a 50-50 joint venture of Alibaba and Ant Financial. Silver Lake, CDH Investments, Yunfeng Capital, which is backed by Alibaba founder Jack Ma, and Primavera Capital joined as investors in a January 2017 funding round.

Resentment in BJD over party's ticket distribution in Paralakhemundi
Edited By Suryakant Jena Published By Rojalin Mishra Last updated Mar 19, 2019 - 2:46 PM
Paralakhemundi: Hours after the ruling-BJD announced its candidate list for first and second phase general elections in Odisha on Monday, party leaders and workers in Paralakhemundi of Gajapati district have spewed venom over the candidate selection for the Assembly constituency.
Supporters of Ex-MLA of Paralakhemundi K. Narayan Rao have openly protested the party's decision to field Kalyani Gajapathi as the candidate for the upcoming elections in the Assembly segment scheduled to be held on April 11.
Alleging that the party has insulted Narayan Rao by not selecting him, the hundreds of supporters of K. Narayan Rao held a demonstration and ripped apart party posters and banners after the announcement of the candidate list.
"In 2000 when BJD formed coalition with the then NDA government, it supported the BJP candidate in Paralakhemundi, but we still fielded an independent candidate for BJD and had saved the party. We also continued to do the same in 2004 elections so that the party organisation would not get weak. But after giving our time and efforts to the party nothing has gone in our favour. People who joined the party recently have been granted ticket, but we, who have worked tirelessly for the development of party have been sidelined," said Kashinagar Block Chairman, Chitra Simadri.
Threatening the party, Simadri added, "People will not accept this injustice as nearly 30,000 BJD workers will go for mass-resignation from the party."
It may be noted that Rao was elected as the MLA of Paralakhemundi constituency in 2009, but he narrowly lost the next election in 2014 by around 2,000 votes to Congress' K Surya Rao.

"Forward to Recovery" sticker
Published January 5, 2014	"The Process is the Product" , Stickin' it to the Man , the faith of graffiti Leave a Comment
I recently found a great political sticker about capitalism and the economy that looks very much like an I.W.W. stickerette due to its size, medium, and message. It states "Forward to Recovery – Increased Activity – Price Rise – Employment." We see "Business" dressed as a fat cat in a fancy suit and pinstripe pants racing forward while being dragged down by the heavy anchor of "Low Wages." The artist's name is difficult to decipher; the signature looks like "Terry Costello," but I can't find anything similar online or in any of my I.W.W.-related books and articles. The reason I think the sticker comes from the I.W.W., however, is because it's glued onto an envelope dated September 30, 1933.
The envelope was addressed to Kenneth N. Rinker, 417 W. First St., Greensburg, Indiana, and it cost three cents at the time to send through the mail. There is no return address on the front or back of the envelope. The envelope was sealed when I acquired it. I opened it only to find a blank sheet of white paper….
I thought I might find mention of the "Costello" artist in Franklin Rosement's "A Short Treatise on Wobbly Cartoons" in the newer 1988 edition of Rebel Voices: An IWW Anthology by Joyce L. Kornbluh. I also checked "Wobbly" – 80 Years of Rebel Art, a catalogue that accompanied an exhibition at the Labor Archives and Research Center in San Francisco in 1987. No luck. I learned about many other I.W.W. artists, though, and discovered a few other sources to check later, including "The Iconographics of American Labor," a chapter in From the Knights of Labor to the New World Order: Essays on Labor and Culture by Paul Buhle, and Images of American Radicalism by Paul Buhle and Edmund Sullivan. (As a side note, in the late 1960s Paul Buhle founded the S.D.S. journal Radical America, which features a story about the I.W.W. in Volume 1, Number 2, and even mentions stickerettes! I have a theory that S.D.S. stickers were inspired by stickerettes, which I plan to write about in the near future…. I need to connect the dots, and Franklin Rosemont and Paul Buhle are two key figures with interests in both the I.W.W. and S.D.S.)
Anyway, back to the mysterious envelope. The little NRA sticker on the lower right states "NRA Member – U.S. – We Do Our Part" and shows a blue eagle clutching a gear, symbolizing industry, and lightning, symbolizing power. You can read more about the NRA blue eagle logo here.
I have other NRA stickers in the Street Art Graphics digital archive, but they aren't from the National Rifle Association. The early NRA stickers, which Arline Wolfe catalogued last year, were, as she wrote, "from the National Recovery Administration, a U.S. government agency established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to stimulate business recovery through fair-practice codes during the Great Depression. The NRA was an essential element in the National Industrial Recovery Act (June 1933), which authorized the President to institute industry-wide codes intended to eliminate unfair trade practices, reduce unemployment, establish minimum wages and maximum hours, and guarantee the right of labour to bargain collectively, according to www.britannica.com." The Social Welfare History Project Web site also describes the NRA here.

The for-profit takeover of the non-profit '.org' top-level domain
March 6, 2020 admin 0 Comments Latest News
Quick guide to VPN services
Whether you're in the office or on the road, a VPN is still one of the best ways to protect yourself on the big, bad internet.
At first glance, the proposed deal makes little sense. The Internet Society is trying to sell the non-profit Public Interest Registry (PIR), the registry for the ".org" top-level domain (TLD), to the new private-equity firm Ethos Capital for $1.135 billion. There are about 10.5 million .org domains, and most — but not all — are non-profits. Where's the money?
Andrew Allemann, the owner of DomainNameWire.com, explained: ".Org is the second most valuable namespace behind .com. . . . It brings in about $100 million in revenue at today's wholesale price with minimal costs. . . . But Ethos Capital wasn't paying just for this $100 million a year. ICANN [Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers] has removed pricing caps on .org, so the company can charge whatever it wants for .org domains."
While that last part has driven some domain owners around the bend, many others are bothered that a for-profit private-equity firm would now be in charge of a domain name that goes hand-in-hand with non-profit organizations ranging from the United Nations to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to your town's garden club.
Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the Web, tweeted: "I'm very concerned about the sale of .org to a private company. If the Public Interest Registry ends up not being required to act in the public interest, it would be a travesty. We need an urgent explanation."
Richard Barnes, a board member of the Internet Society, justified the deal because the "Internet Society does great work protecting the internet and bringing it to the people who need it most — work that is way more impactful than leasing domain names. This transaction secures that work's future and independence."
Besides, Barnes added, "Ethos is a worthy successor to the Internet Society as the steward of .org."
Others beg to disagree.
"The .org registry is a point of control on the internet," Mitch Stoltz, an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) attorney, told The Los Angeles Times. "A private equity firm has an incentive to sell censorship as a service."
There have been online petitions against the acquisition. They argue that price hikes could hurt many cash-strapped non-profits and that the deal isn't being made with no input from the many non-government organizations (NGO)s, which are .org users. Four Congresspeople, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, sent a letter to the Internet Society and Ethos Capital saying:
"The registry that controls .ORG must provide reliable and affordable domain services to nonprofits. It must protect the free-speech rights of all users, even for those with unpopular viewpoints that governments or corporations may not like. At the same time, it must protect internet users from phishing, malware, and denial-of-service attacks."
The Internet Society and Ethos have defended the merger. They've stated they're "committing to limit any potential increase in the price of an .ORG domain registration to no more than 10% per year on average and that they'll establish a PIR Stewardship Council, which will be an independent and transparent body that will continue PIR's "commitments to freedom of expression and upholding human rights."
Erik Brooks, who founded Ethos Capital in 2019, poo-pooed protests about the deal:
"We understand that change brings uncertainty and concern, and this has been strongly reflected in some alarmist statements about what Ethos and PIR might do to .ORG pricing in the future. To be clear, we are investing in .ORG for the reputation of the platform and the values it represents in the marketplace. Egregious price increases would not serve the interests of PIR or .ORG, and to suggest otherwise would be misplaced.
"PIR takes freedom of expression very seriously and the registry's commitment to free speech will continue unabated."
Their arguments haven't impressed opponents. In early January, a group of internet pioneers and nonprofit leaders formed the Cooperative Corporation of .ORG Registrants (CCOR) to offer an alternative group to run the .org TLD. Led by Esther Dyson, who was the first chair of ICANN, Dyson told The New York Times that this "is a better alternative. If you're owned by private equity, your incentive is to make a profit. Our incentive is to serve and protect nonprofits and the public."
Now, the EFF and the Americans for Financial Reform (AFR) think there may be more to this deal than meets the eye. They want ICANN and "Ethos Capital to make public secret details — hidden costs, loan servicing fees, and inducements to insiders — about financing the $1.1-billion sale of the .ORG domain registry."
The two organizations are also urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to review the leveraged buyout. They argue that, since Ethos is partially funding the deal with a $360-million term loan, there's no way the existing business model of charging modest annual fees, even with a 10% annual hike, can service the loan.
Therefore they fear the new PIR is likely to raise prices to unsustainable levels, impose new service charges, reduce technical upkeep that could impair web connectivity or non-profit email traffic, or pursue other business strategies that could undermine the independence of non-profits, including suspending or transferring domain names in a censorship-for-profit strategy that has been used by other domain registries and internet companies.
As for the PIR Stewardship Council, they say PIR promises "to create a 'stewardship council' that will be subordinate to its board of directors does not allay these concerns, as such councils have historically been ineffective and powerless in practice."
Even the Internet Society's own membership don't like how this deal looks. According to a Registry report, the Internet Society's Chapters Advisory Council will vote shortly on a formal recommendation that the society "not proceed [with the sale] unless a number of conditions are met."
They're right to be cautious. Private equity firms aren't charity. They're purely "for-profit" organizations. Modest returns on non-profit annual fees doesn't sound like a plausible business plan for this kind of enterprise.
Be that as it may, Ethos Capital has now offered "legally-binding measures that enforce price limits, safeguard against censorship, and protect personal data through an amendment to PIR's Registry Agreement. These legally-binding commitments cannot be unilaterally modified and will apply to .org regardless of who operates the TLD."
At the same time, though, as the Register points out, it's not at all clear who actually would own PIR when all's said and done. Several shell companies would actually own PIR, but who owns them? It's a good question, and we don't have a good answer.
ICANN, which has veto power over the proposed deal, is taking its own time to look over the proposed acquisition. ICANN is asking to have at least until April 20 before making a decision.
The Internet Society's leadership and Ethos Capital may have wanted this deal to go through quickly and quietly. That's not going to happen.

We need to help prisoners avoid homelessness says Glyndwr University academics
Changes to legislation has removed an automatic priority need for housing which has been given to those leaving custody

More must be done to meet the needs of people at risk of homelessness when they leave prison, according to a report by Wrexham Glyndŵr University academics.
The evaluation of homelessness services for adults leaving prison found that while some aspects of the provision are considered to have improved in recent years, there are areas where more needs to be done to identify and meet their needs.
The evaluation, which was commissioned by the Welsh Government and carried out by academics in the university's criminology department, assessed the National Pathway for Homelessness Services to Children, Young People And Adults in the Secure Estate.
Glyndwr University Students' Union wins in national awards
The pathway, which was launched in December 2015, followed changes to homelessness legislation brought in the year before by the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 - which, among other provisions, removed an automatic priority need for housing status which had formerly been given to prison leavers.
Dr Iolo Madoc Jones, reader in criminology and criminal justice at Wrexham Glyndŵr University, led the team who were asked to analyse the effectiveness of the new pathway.
A former senior probation officer, and associate inspector for Her Majesty's Associate Inspectorate of Probation, Dr Madoc-Jones and his team worked with representatives from each of Wales' 22 local authorities, prison-based staff, housing support staff, probation service staff supervising prison leavers, and prison leavers themselves, to analyse how the new pathway was working on the ground.
The resulting report was published earlier this month and was discussed at Shelter Cymru's annual conference, with Dr Madoc-Jones among the speakers.
He said: "Our research suggested that most local authority stakeholders thought that the level of support provided to prison leavers in the medium and longer term was better than before the National Pathway was introduced.
"But many people who contributed to the research were critical of how prison leaver's needs were assessed while they were in custody and before they were released.
Improvements were needed in the exchange of information about prison leavers and their needs before they left prison.

"Prisons have become incredibly difficult places to manage, and staff shortages often mean there are not enough people on the ground to assess prisoners' housing needs and make the necessary referrals to housing departments.
The report also identified the need for more gender-specific services to help female prison leavers and for additional processes to ensure 'revolving door' offenders get intensive support to help tackle their needs.
Dr Madoc-Jones added: "We have made a series of specific recommendations for the Welsh Government, Ministry of Justice and Prison Service, probation services and local authorities to consider in our report - and hope that it has helped to shape the thinking on the National Pathway."

The Annunciation, also referred to as the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary or Annunciation of the Lord, is the Christian celebration of the announcement by the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, marking his Incarnation. Gabriel told Mary to name her son Jesus, meaning "Saviour". It is one of the twelve Great Feasts of the church year. Many Christians observe this event with the Feast of the Annunciation on 25 March, nine full months before Christmas, the birthday of Jesus.
Dom Guéranger, abbot of Solesmes from 1837-1875, was one of the leading monastics and liturgists of his generation, and his writings were highly influential both in France and abroad.
No sooner has the wicked spirit assured her that she may break the commandment of her divine Benefactor and not die; that the fruit of her disobedience will be a wonderful knowledge, which will put her on an equality with God Himself: than she immediately yields; she is conquered. Her self-love has made her at once forget both duty and gratitude: she is delighted at the thought of being freed from the twofold tie which binds her to her Creator. Such is the woman that caused our perdition. But how different is she that was to save us! The former cares not for her posterity; she looks but to her own interests: the latter forgets herself to think only of her God, and of the claims He has to her service. The angel, charmed with this sublime fidelity,, thus answers the question put to him by Mary, and reveals to her the designs of God: 'The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren; because no word shall be impossible with God.' This said, he is silent, and reverently awaits the answer of the Virgin of Nazareth. Let us look once more at the virgin of Eden. Scarcely has the wicked spirit finished speaking than Eve casts a longing look at the forbidden fruit: she is impatient to enjoy the independence it is to bring her. She rashly stretches forth her hand; she plucks the fruit; she eats it, and death takes possession of her: death of the soul, for sin extinguishes the light of life; and death of the body, which, being separated from the source of immortality, becomes an object of shame and horror, and finally crumbles into dust. But let us turn away our eyes from this sad spectacle, and fix them on Nazareth. Mary has heard the angel's explanation of the mystery; the will of heaven is made known to her, and how grand an honour it is to bring upon her!
She, the humble maid of Nazareth, is to have the ineffable happiness of becoming the Mother of God, and yet the treasure of her virginity is to be left to her! Mary bows down before this sovereign will, and says to the heavenly messenger: 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word.' Thus, as the great St. Irenaeus and so many of the holy fathers remark, the obedience of the second Eve repaired the disobedience of the first: for no sooner does the Virgin of Nazareth speak her fiat, 'be it done,' than the eternal Son of God (who, according to the divine decree, awaited this word) is present, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, in the chaste womb of Mary, and there He begins His human life. A Virgin is a Mother, and Mother of God; and it is this Virgin's consenting to the divine will that has made her conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost. This sublime mystery puts between the eternal Word and a mere woman the relations of Son and Mother; it gives to the almighty God a means whereby He may, in a manner worthy of His majesty, triumph over Satan, who hitherto seemed to have prevailed against the divine plan. Never was there a more entire or humiliating defeat than that which this day befell Satan. The frail creature, over whom he had so easily triumphed at the beginning of the world, now rises and crushes his proud head. Eve conquers in Mary.

God would not choose man for the instrument of His vengeance; the humiliation of Satan would not have been great enough; and therefore she who was the first prey of hell, the first victim of the tempter, is selected to give battle to the enemy. The result of so glorious a triumph is that Mary is to be superior not only to the rebel angels, but to the whole human race, yea, to all the angels of heaven. Seated on her exalted throne, she, the Mother of God, is to be the Queen of all creation. Satan, in the depths of the abyss, will eternally bewail his having dared to direct his first attack against the woman, for God has now so gloriously avenged her; and in heaven, the very Cherubim and Seraphim reverently look up to Mary, and deem themselves honoured when she smiles upon them, or employs them in the execution of any of her wishes, for she is the Mother of their God.
The above text comes from the Liturgical Year 15 Volume Set, By Dom Gueranger which can be ordered from the Rosary Bay. Dom Guéranger, abbot of Solesmes from 1837-1875, was one of the leading monastics and liturgists of his generation, and his writings were highly influential both in France and abroad.
Pope Pius IX, in his eulogy of Dom Gueranger, credited him with three great accomplishments: the revival of the monastic tradition in France, restoration of the Roman Liturgy and Gregorian Chant (40 years after the French Revolution and suppression of the Benedictine order), and the theological justification for two dogmatic definitions, that of the Immaculate Conception and the infallibility of the Roman Pontiff. After all, St. Therese of Lisieux immersed herself in this book growing up. If you want to understand from the heart what has happened in the Church over the last fifty years, you only need read The Liturgical Year. No Catholic home, or any home for that matter, is complete without a copy of this set.
