- Hello everyone.
-
- As the new chief of the MI.ORG domain, I'd like to make a suggestion: Let's
- get rid of the domain!
-
- Seriously, I think it might be time that the domain be retired. The folks at
- ISI do a pretty good job with the MI.US domain. Any time I have sent mail
- to them, I've always gotten a prompt, courteous reply.
-
- MI.US is becoming increasingly populated. High schools around Michigan are
- getting connected, and they are part of the domain. There was also a lot of
- talk at the last IETF about reserving the EDU domain for four-year colleges
- and universities, and placing other schools under <state>.US.
-
- How would people feel about a slow transition to remove the MI.ORG domain
- in favor of the MI.US domain? I'd still be willing to act as a front-end
- for people who needed some help getting registered.
