I will see if I can look into this. FWIW, I did email the current owner of haiku.org about one or two weeks ago (info from their whois) to see if they were interested in parting with the domain. I got no response at that time. I realize that's not the same as using our NPO corporate powers to regain the domain, but I figured I'd mention it since it's on-topic for this discussion :) - Urias -- HaikuPorts homepage - http://ports.haiku-files.org List archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/beports Administrative contact: brecht@xxxxxxxxxxx
