Re: [atlarge-discuss] Naming Suggestions (was Deciding Name for Organisation)
How about GlobalAtLarge.ORG. As of this morning it is unregistered. This
really says who we are...
...or perhaps another possibility would be ICANN@LARGE.ORG. Since I like
this too I called the person who owns LARGE.ORG to see what they were going
to do with the name. and left a message. Its a student??? (as listed below)
at MIT that has the domain name and nothing has been done except some
cybersquatting on this name or so it seems, so we will see.
