Well, you're running all this on a server whose use is donated by
"Telascience" (alias JohnG, SDSU and the sponsors behind). I can't
think of OSGeo people voting against such use, Instead I'm convinced
that OSGeo folks should be happy that you're actually trying to get put
some life into OAM !

Similar to what I said before: OSGeo, especially the geodata folks,
should be happy that progress is being made at OAM. I'm not sure if it
makes any sense for OSGeo in taking over the domain name, but it's
certainly a win for OSGeo to get affiliated to this effort.

Cheerio,
