--- Comment #32 from varnent <[email protected]> --- I agree that the punctuation debate is a little bit much. AffCom has already discussed this and weighed in. However, I will re-summarize. This affiliate's official acronym is US-NE, and so we are fine with whatever the affiliate would like regarding usne or us-ne.wikimedia.org - I personally recommend usne.wikimied.org - but do not feel as strongly about it as others seem to. We did talk about the Nebraska concern, and here are a few quick thoughts: 1. There are likely to be some overlap with region names and officially recognized names. 2. New England is hoping to one-day become a chapter. If a group from Nebraska emerges, they will likely be encouraged to be a user group rather than a statewide (vs. regional) chapter. Of course it is possible over 20 years that could change, but many things are possible over that time. As such, in the event of Nebraska, they would be assigned US-NB (the other acronym used by orgs like the Coast Guard that use NE for New England instead) or US-NEB. 3. The hyphen itself is not something others seem to feel as strongly about. If the group's acronym is US-NE, it is unlikely that usne. or us-ne. would be assigned to another group. As to the argument that it will be easier for random people to find them, I think it is okay for their web domain to focus on people responding to their marketing efforts. The affiliate has requested usne.wikimedia.org - which AffCom has supported - I suggest setting that up for the website and a forward if it will appease concerns from others. -greg aka varnent AffCom -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
