Presentation
The mi.org problem is solved. We will put up a www.mi.org web site that
says "we are not www.mi.com" near the top. In return, they argree that we
will never hear from them again.
1. MJO is looking for contributions to cover the $2000+ legal
cost of defending mi.org from the villianous domain poachers.
2. What should MJO with mi.org to help ensure we won't have
problems in the future? (Other than making a Michigan Supreme
Court Justice the administrative contact for the domain? He's
already done this.) Should it be incorporated as a non-profit?
SCS suggests approaching Usenix and ask if they'll become the domain
holder for mi.org. Explain what happened and offer them the opportunity
to put mi.org in the Usenet Public Trust.
Lon Lowen points out we can form an LLC (for $7).
Eric Raymond is going to be in town. How do we go about coordinating
this and finding a venue?
