<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Of all the suggestions offered, OSMF
seems like the most natural fit to me. That seems like it would
very much keep the domain in the hands of the community, instead
of an individual, which would guard against the individual
becoming disinterested or unavailable. The biggest roadblock would
be if that violated any of CIRA's rules (I'll poke around and see
what I can learn).<br>
<br>
And I would LOVE to see a group of community members actually DO
something with the domain :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions and assistance! If
there are no compelling objections, I will start the transfer of
the domain to OSMF in a few days.<br>

<div>I understand the interest in OSMF holding
the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://openstreetmap.ca">openstreetmap.ca</a>
domain. To balance that, there is a
requirement that .ca domains be held by some
body with a legitimate interest or residence
in Canada. (Or something like that). If OSMF
(being a UK not for profit) does not meet that
requirement, we're left with holding on to it
for ourselves in some way.<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm all for whatever we decide. Especially if
we can lighten the load for Daryl, and allow
more contribution from the community. <br>
<br>

<div>Thank you Daryl, for thinking to get the
domain when it was available, and for holding it
safely for so long. I know that you and I
talked about doing something with it a while
back, and neither of us did. I don't think
you've done anything "anti-community" with
respect to the domain. And I think that
starting this conversation amply demonstrates
that you are one of the good guys. <br>
<br>
So, thanks again!<br>

Among the options, for the domain I suppose, are:
<br>
</div>
<div>- investigate getting OSMF to hold it<br>
</div>
- continue to have a trusted community member hold
the domain<br>
</div>
- allow a trusted company to hold it<br>
</div>
- form a company to hold it on our behalf<br>
</div>
- something else(?)<br>
<br>
</div>
I'll ask about OSMF holding it. And I'd be willing to hold
it on behalf of OSMF and or "the Canadian community"<br>
<br>
</div>
And I'd like to see, as a separate step, a group of us put our
heads and volunteer hours together to actually do something
with it. :-) <br>
<br>

Best regards,<br>
