In some countries (Mali for example), HOT is by far the institution
with the most notoriety related to Openstreetmap - and it is often the

project under supervision and sponsorship of HOT. The confusion is
real and the least the OSMF could do to start clearing it is to make
sure that the domains are separate. http://hot.openstreetmap.org must
not point to a HOT domain.
For what it's worth, I have no objection to the hot.openstreetmap.org
redirect, and it seems perfectly logical that the 'hot.' prefix should
point to a HOT domain. By all means introduce
humanitarian.openstreetmap.org as well for a broader list of
humanitarian projects using OSM.
