RE: [atlarge-discuss] icannatlarge.com
James, actually, Joanna's idea (which I support) was for the organization's
incorporated name to be InternetAtLarge, with a variety of domain names,
including the existing icannatlarge.com, feeding into it.
So you see, whether InternetAtLarge or another, this isn't actually a
domain name issue.
