Hi Eric,
There are two bits of thinking here:
* One is that ampr.org does not quite match the name ARDC. More than one
person has noted that it's very confusing (I have to admit that I was
also a bit confused when I first learned of ARDC).
* We are also a bit bloated with regards to the use of items being used
on the ampr.org domain. I'll let Chris speak to more about the
technicalities of this one.
For both reasons, we're looking at basically having two domains:
ampr.org for everything related to the Portal and IP address space
usage, and ardc.[something TBD; .org is taken] for the grantmaking side
of things.
It's not lost on us that such a move will come with difficulty - in
fact, there are few ways forward that don't have some drawbacks.
Ultimately, though, if we can solve a naming problem and a major
technical issue with the same move, then it seems like a good idea to us.
LMK if you have more thoughts and questions!
73,
