Hi All, I have been contacted by the manager of auditing department at http://hk-ip.org/ about a company, Ross Investments, that is attempting to purchase openscenegraph.* domains. I have never heard of Ross Investments before, so I can only presume that they feel they can make a profit from redirect OpenSceneGraph traffic or gambling on being able to extort an even high price for the domains.
I ask how much the domains were are the costs are: Below are the annual domain registration fees of these domains. openscenegraph.cn 44 USD / Year openscenegraph.com.cn 44 USD / Year openscenegraph.com.hk 87 USD / Year openscenegraph.hk 87 USD / Year openscenegraph.com.tw 84 USD / Year All of these are way more expensive than I pay for openscenegraph.org and openscenegraph.com. The only additional value to the OpenSceneGraph project of any of these domains would be if a local community wanted to use them for a local language forum/website. For the core OpenSceneGraph project purchasing them would be purely defensive. I raise this issue as adding an extra costs that is more than I currently pay for hosting and domains just isn't viable. Where does one stop in being defensive? There are so many new domain extensions popping up that it's impossible to buy them all up. Thoughts? Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
