<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Hi James,<br>
<br>
Yes, I'm the registrant now (the domain was originally registered<br>
by Avri Doria, but she wanted to get rid of it and somehow I agreed<br>
to pick it up).<br>
<br>
But, are you saying you'd want to take it over or pay for it if<br>
I continue as the registrant?<br>
<br>
Anyway, as others have observed the amount of money involved<br>
isn't huge, I could pay it myself easily enough (even Finnish VAT,<br>
I like what I get with my tax money in Finland).<br>
<br>
But it is good to have this discussion about igcaucus funding and<br>
indeed about igcaucus future in general.<br>
<br>
Tapani<br>
