I had also heard from a domain rep that read my article and he mentioned to me he was going to contact the board as he had an idea, but not sure if that is what got it renewed or something else.Originally posted by microcode View PostMichael Larabel

What I'm worried about is when Leon may legally die (whether he's actually dead or not), he may not have anything set up to transfer the domain.

I'd still love to know why one single member was given total control of such an asset in the first place, apparently with no obligation to maintain it.
Ad-hoc handing out of responsibilites isn't unusual in small projects, but for something as valuable as a single-letter domain...?Comment

Ad-hoc allocation of tasks and resources makes sense for small projects, but for something as valuable as a single-letter domain...?

Good to know that they " tried all the obvious steps which would occur to anyone within about ten seconds' worth of thought".
Now, after 10 years, it might be a good idea to spend a bit more thought on the matter and try the less obvious.Comment
