Since its just a change of domain name, can we discuss who will
own this domain?

I am not happy about anyone except David being in control of the
'official' domain for obvious reasons.

It still really does not explain why we have to change domains,
forum name and possibly logo for.  It seems like a lot of extra effort
and expense for not a lot of gain.

I thought the discussion about what we actually require was productive
and helpful but for some reason people keep demanding we change
names (yet again).
