[FlashCodersNY] domain name

[Thaylin Burns]

Wow JC, I understand your stance on this but I don't think this was
appropriate to send the whole group. We as a group have been in the process
of figuring out all of this but you have been nowhere in sight. You've
completely distanced yourself from the group and I think Tyler just wanted
the ownership to be moved to someone who has more responsibility with the
group and is not defunct.

It doesn't really matter WHO the ownership goes to, I agree with that, but
it should be someone who is still a big component of FCNY. Tyler has taken
this head on and done a lot to redevelop the site to something easily
maintainable and updatable, as well as handling all the topics and events on
his own since Lisa moved.

While I do agree that the group should at some point move towards it's own
organization and ownership, it also makes for a difficult thing to handle a
site when the registration, ownership, and administration are all in your
name.

This is just IMO, and of course I am no voice of the entire group.

What does everyone else think?
