I would be willing to take over registration and hosting for 2012 unless someone objects or unless someone else would prefer to take it over. I don't attend meetings but I do follow and utilize the mailing list. The only thing I'm unsure about setting up is the mailing list itself so I might have some questions but I'm sure I will figure it out.
Vern, if you hear from the other members that this is ok we can exchange the needed information. I would prefer to just transfer the domains over to my gandi.net account but I do have a GoDaddy account if the domain needs to live there for awhile.
