[BNM] 123-reg

Sun Nov 18 15:26:40 GMT 2007

I like this idea - and can partake, offering a rackspace hosted DNS server

I would like to discuss the details further, either here on at a meeting 
of some sort

Its high time we took control of our own DNS destiny

The community model seems both fair and robust

Domain hosting companies don't make it easy because presumably they want to charge for it or worry about their systems. I want to understand and sort out domains.
