Michael (Herman):

Thank you for your long post on our "sites", but I became more confused
later then I was before ;-(((

Can you please explain what content will be located in the current .org
site and what will be in the new .net  site?

Do you plan to have the multilingual feature in both (ok, for the time
being, I accept that the .com will be "American only" ;-)

In relation with research, and agreeing that it depends on all of us to
provide all our research papers to be displayed on the site (but to have a
call for such papers in the site would help), is the research restricted to
OST or is it open to OSOs? And should those two be mixed or separated?

[My opinion is that OSOs are the most interesting field of research on OST,
so I would like to see a separated space for that research, and see it
considered as part of the OSW site and movement]

It's interesting that you refer to "Monopoly". As I see it, to have all
those domains reserved (or claimed) by OSIs in "anti-monopolist" by
definition. It assures that "private owners" cannot claim those domains
anymore. It is a pity that we have not enough resources to claim to the all
community other closed related domain names...
