We have been in contact with the current owner of the domain ubuntu.is and he is refusing to hand it over to Canonical. Here is a copy of a mail Rubén got (Rubén set up the Iceland team) from the domain owner: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <marz...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 10:13 AM Subject: Re: Ubuntu Ísland - Let's get it started! :-) To: Rubén Romero y Cordero <hua...@ubuntu.com> Hello, At this moment the price of ubuntu.is domain is symbolically low: 79,990 NOK, which equals to only two monthly IT-engineering salaries in Norway. If somebody really wants to donate, he is free to buy the domain and to donate it to the community. Best wishes, -- Marzata Ubuntu and Canonical can contact the .is authority and launch a complaint against this individual. When reading through the previous disputes on the website ( http://www.isnic.is/domain/dispute.php), sorry icelandic only, it is apparent that most foreign companies have a law firm here in Iceland handling their matters. Here are a few that have good reputation in Iceland (links to their English pages): http://www.ergologmenn.is/?lang=en http://english.arnasonfaktor.is/engarnasonfaktor/Thefirm/ (they represented Microsoft in getting microsoft.is) http://fls.is/Advel/ http://www.landslog.is/index.php/id/131 You can contact us (ubuntu-is-kerfisstjorar@lists.launchpad.net) if you need any more info. Good luck :-) Best regards, Jakob Sigurðsson
