Nice to provide funds, but if we keep it, I'll donate the domain to the ASF, which will take care of the registration fees. The ASF is now the trademark holder, so it should be in control. However, we are in control of the project that fills the trademark. So we can decide what to do with the domain.
Your donation would be better appreciated for a ApacheCon ticket and some beers afterwards ;-) Martijn On 11/3/07, C.
