Here's a draft mail that I offer as a possible mail to Swati Sani<br>
seeking transfer of doman name ownership.<br>
<br>
Before we do send out a mail to her, I think it important from a<br>
record keeping point of view that:<br>
<br>
- we first agree that we want to transfer the domain name to active<br>
list members.<br>
- we identify who those list members would be.<br>
<br>
Here's my draft mail:<br>

Hello Swati.<br>
<br>
It's been a while since you've been on the list, and about a year<br>
since you have ubsubscribed from the list and moved on. We wish you<br>
success with whatever else you are doing now-a-days.</blockquote><div>//uNsubscribed <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
Some others (old and new) on the list are active, and various list<br>
members have various interests. </blockquote><div>"varied" interests? <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Some interests are related to<br>
evangelism and support which are going on in various forms. <b>Others</b><br>
interests are related to handling administrative issues involved with<br>
running a user group. </blockquote><div>//other<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Some of us have felt the need for active members<br>
to be owners and admins of the domain name. We realize that you have<br>
registered the domain name, and that you have renewed it recently as<br>
well. Would it be possible for you to transfer the domain name<br>
ownership to the active list members, please ? We of course offer to<br>
reimburse the domain registration fee that you would have just paid to<br>
renew the domain. Could you let us know the specific amount?<br>
<br>
Given the disconnected nature of email, we feel it prudent to clarify<br>
that this is not a demand, but a request, since we recognize that you<br>
have purchased the domain and have paid for the renewal as well. We're<br>
asking simply as community members, and are basing our request on the<br>
principle of active enthusiasts who wish to be caretakers.<br>
<br>
We have tried to contact your earlier at <a href="mailto:swati@sanisoft.com">swati@sanisoft.com</a> since that<br>
was known to us to be your email address. However, not having received<br>
a response to our earlier mails, we decided to send this mail to the<br>
email address mentioned at your business site as well, in the<br>
assumption that you would be receiving those emails.<br>
<br>
Do let us know your thoughts on transferring the domain name. We would<br>
like to take a decision amongst ourselves on this matter, and hope to<br>
receive a response by the 15th of Jan 2009.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing from you, and wishing you all the best,<br>
<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Rest is nicely drafted out. As Hassath pointed out, extremely polite but succinct.<br>Great going Sriram! :)<br>It might require modifications if posting as a comment on her blog.<br>Worst case, we could probably call her up (if SaniSoft's number is mentioned somewhere on their webpage). I'm not really sure about that either!<br>
