Re: [atlarge-discuss] Re: Hey! atlarge.org and icannatlarge.org!

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Thank you Marc. Your science of the DNs management helped a lot: I was at 
loss trying to get icannatlarge.org back and spent a lot of time/money on 
the phone with NSI without result!

Could you let us know what are your intents regarding "atlarge.org" which 
is the DN I think this organization eventually needs. As an alternative I 
registered "atlarge.ws" to support the deployment of the @large naming plan 
(http://icann.atlarge.xxx,  http://fr.atlarge.xxx etc...). This plan and 
therefore this domain name should be managed by the WG-DNS (I would be glad 
you to join).

As we know there are probably cons and pros to use ".org" if ISOC takes it 
over and we may have to campaign on the matter in a way we do know yet. But 
obviously "atlarge.org" would be better as ICANN uses http://at-large.org .

http://atlarge.ws is a second good choice for that reason. But the worst 
situation would be that you retain atlarge.org now, we develop under 
atlarge.ws and then you release or someone takes it over.
