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,
Rosy

Sounds like an excellet idea. Perhaps use the freedom, and choose
something meaningful for the grant-making side of the business:
Open Radio Foundation
fundingamateur.radio
Social Tech Trust
(etc).
It's not lost on us that such a move will come
with difficulty
Probably very few difficulties. There isn't that much in common; so
gradually separating/disentanging:
AMPRNet <-> CAIDA Network Telescope <-> $100m grant-making business
has the chance of providing positve clarity for all three directions.

Hi Rosey,
Not sure if you're aware of it, but there is a ".fund" TLD. From the
ICANN wiki page:
".FUND will be attractive and useful to a wide variety of registrants,
perhaps particularly those who seek or provide capital or other
resources for a transaction, process, person, business or institution.
This broad and diverse group may in fact provide services that include
the specific term FUND, such as mutual funds, venture capital funds,
hedge funds, or those seeking development funds such as a non-profit
charity would. The TLD could be put to use to expand fundraising efforts
for institutions of higher learning, hospitals, micro lenders, or others
who collect resources for the purpose of advancing an institution or idea."

Bernard
