Hi! > Who owns calmira.org right now? My brother had an issue with "domain > leasing," where he tried moving hosts and his host technically owned the > domain. Are we facing a situation like that? Could we still use > calmira.org, or is that just too difficult to get back? This is what netsol.com says right now: --------------- Registrant: The Calmira Tips Mailing List (CALMIRA-DOM) 2241 Platte pl apt 1 Colorado Springs, CO 80909 US Domain Name: CALMIRA.ORG Administrative Contact, Technical Contact: Brian, Johnson (JB21028) blj8@xxxxxxxx Hardly any, sometimes... 2241 PLATTE PL APT 1 COLORADO SPGS, CO 80909-5929 US 719-633-3424 Record expires on 27-Sep-2003. Record created on 11-May-2002. Database last updated on 23-Jul-2003 14:31:53 EDT. Domain servers in listed order: NS1.DNSMADEEASY.COM 69.10.137.166 NS4.DNSMADEEASY.COM 216.88.44.132 ------------------------- This means that Robin is still registered owner. I guess his ISP just blocked the domain, but they can't delete the entry before the expiration date Spetember, 27. AFAICI (as far as I can imagine...), after September, 27 the domain will either move over to the ISP or will be available again for registration. > If we cannot use calmira.org, that is not a fatal problem.

Anyway, to ensure that an address will be good for the next decade, we have to keep the community going. I.e. if the person who hosts the domain (whoever it is) is in financial/technical trouble, he/she should immediately let us know. So that a situation like the current one won't be created again. > Gaby, if you wanted to grab calmira.de and are willing to host a > reasonable amount of bandwidth, I'm sure we can get a volunteer to > maintain the site. I've registered calmira.de today, and it should be reachable not later than Friday (my ISP has a direct line to the .de NIC). Now, if somebody has got a mirror and is willing to upload the stuff, please contact me and I will install an ftp account. > Erwin, if things are still up in the air, can we get your go-ahead on > calmira.de ?

"Everything a modern Win 3.1 user needs." ;-)) Is this o.k.??? Cheers, Gaby --- You Know You Are a Computer Geek ...
