Well, that *is* what we are trying to do - resolve these issues asap.<br>
We need to write an official mail to Swati Sani requesting her to hand<br>
over the domain. Any volunteers for drafting such a mail? I would<br>
suggest that all suggestions for points to be incorporated in such a<br>
mail be sent here. Or does anyone else have any alternate suggestions<br>
on how to go about it?<br>
<br>
Or - does anyone here have appropriate rights to change the definition<br>
of the virtual host on the current web server? If yes, please say so<br>
now. Even if you disagree and don't want to do it for whatever reasons<br>
- please speak up now and clarify your stand.<br>
<br>
As of now, only Gayathri has offered herself as a volunteer. Anybody<br>
else who wants to volunteer for anything?<br>
<br>

Thanks for your suggestions, Pavithran.<br>

- Hassath</font></blockquote></div><br></div>Hey Hassath:<br><br>Here is my suggestion. <br><br>Regarding domain names themselves for any domain, there are two types of contacts:<br><br>- Administrative contact - this is usually a firm's billing/legal/marketing department<br>
- Technical contact - this is usually the webmasters/ sysadmins/ identifed technical handles<br><br>It's easy to do this if the contacts/ roles are defined. In case of <a href="http://linuxchix.org.in" target="_blank">linuxchix.org.in</a> suggest that we start with this effort. I volunteer to populate this information at the wiki - will definitely need help of current administrators ( Archana/ yourself/ Vid/ Runa/ Barkha/ Aneesha/ Swati...missing more here...)<br>
<br>Once we have this defined, we (administrators/ interested/ curious/ volunteers) should converse on which team/roles will hold administrative/technical contact for domain.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>Hi:<br><br>Here is draft of the proposed page: <a href="http://linuxchix.org.in/wiki/index.php/Volunteer_for_LinuxChix-India">http://linuxchix.org.in/wiki/index.php/Volunteer_for_LinuxChix-India</a><br>
<br>Still need help to populate contact information and other details.<br><br>Would like to suggest we use the following for contact information specific to domain:<br><br>* Domain registrar - LinuxChix-India ( need a distribution email group <a href="mailto:info@linuxchix.org.in">info@linuxchix.org.in</a> that goes to identified owners)<br>
* Administrator contact - LinuxChix-India ( the group above)<br>* Technical contact - Systems administrators, Wiki administrators, Planet administrators, List administrators.<br><br>After hanging out here for over a year it seems** the owners group initially will include the following members:<br>
<br>Aneesha, Ankita, Archana, Barkha, Hassath, Runa, Swati, Vidya<br><br>**going off mailing list archives, media<br><br>If this sounds right can further approach Swati with this information and see how to progress from that point on.<br>
<br>Please include other members or details I have missed.<br><br>-- <br>Gayathri Swaminathan<br>gpgkey: 3EFB3D39<br>Volunteer, FDP<br>
