Our Internet Domains
We are holding:
votingtheory.org ($14/yr)
votingtheory.com ($9/yr)
votingtheory.net ($12/yr)
voting-theory.com ($9/yr)Obviously, we have to keep votingtheory.org, because that's our official domain. So I will renew that right after the meeting.
During our founding meeting, I grabbed voting-theory.com (note the hyphen) by mistake. So I'm planning to cancel that.
A user of the old forum advised we grab the .com and .net names to avoid being impersonated by any unfriendly agents who could turn up. I don't know how important this is. If the council decides to keep them and can raise the money other than from me, I will cooperate with the decision. Otherwise, I am inclined to drop them.
Our other money expense is $60/yr. for the server. This could reasonably double if we get a second server in a different city to hold backup data. Currently, my personal server, which I am paying for anyway for other purposes, is holding the backups. I should double check whether the backup mechanism I set up is really working.
As I mentioned, I hope we can recruit someone as treasurer.
As I have also mentioned, in regard to tech support, we are in a more vulnerable position than would be ideal, because it all currently depends on one person (me). I don't mind doing it, but something could always happen to me (as something could happen to any single individual person). If someone can offer back-up support, they should submit their SSH public key.
In solidarity for a better tomorrow (or at least, a tomorrow),
