I'd certainly advocate we would only move the groups that wanted to be moved. For example, groups like advocacy and local users groups may be better placed over at .com. I'd agree a thorough analysis of the content on .org would need to be done in terms of figuring out what migration plan, if any, needed to be done. >>> What happens to the nearly 100,000 registered users on the .org site? >> >> Exactly what happens to them currently?

I don't see any reason why that couldn't be covered by the same privacy statement. I'm obviously not qualified to comment on that any further. >>> Who will be responsible for deciding what content goes on the .com site? >> >> That's entirely what this discussion is for, so that we can find out >> what the interest level is like, and whether it's likely to fly as a >> proposal.

I guess control is going to be the group of people who do it first - given that the domain name is owned by Sun, I'd probably hedge my bets there and some project group responsible for it. Nothing stopping some other group from registering their own domain and doing it though. Glynn _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
