[CNSIG] RES: domain name for the CNSIG

Hi all, My two cents as trusted advisor: 1) as the domain is for the CNSIG, I would suggest to make this explicit using either communitynetworks-sig.org or cnsig.info (if available cnsig.org would be even better, as .org is managed by ISOC and SIGs are part of ISOC). This would also avoid overlap with DC3 website https://comconnectivity.org/ 2) as a procedural suggestion, I think it would be good to share a “Call for Suggestions” before preparing a survey and then define a deadline to reply to the CfS and to the survey so that everyone has the possibility to contribute An excellent end of 2017 to all Luca [FGV Direito Rio] Luca Belli, PhD Senior Researcher Head of Internet Governance @ FGV<http://internet-governance.fgv.br/> luca.belli(a)fgv.br +55 21 3799 5763 @1lucabelli<https://twitter.com/1lucabelli> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/Direito_Rio/assinatura_email/Ondas.png] De: cnsig-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net [mailto:cnsig-bounces@listas.altermundi.net] Em nome de Sol Luca de Tena Enviada em: domingo, 24 de dezembro de 2017 03:13 Para: cnsig(a)listas.altermundi.net Assunto: Re: [CNSIG] domain name for the CNSIG Morning one and all, I'm fine with any domain. Just a few thoughts to add to the pot. 1. https://www.internetsociety.org/sigs this is a list of other ISOC SIGS and their domains. We are free to do what ever we feel, this just adds to the ideas you've all put out. 2. Summary of choices: -> add ISOC in domain or not, eg: isoc-CNsig/community networks.net/info/org<http://networks.net/info/org> -> add SIG or not -> add full word vs acronym. -> domain, ISOC and all domains of other SiGS are .org. My suggestions: Community networks is immediately recognisable, as a word people would come across it more, and also get immediate idea of what it's about. I think this is positive if we want to have a voice further than our community. If we go with full word (communitynetworks) I would keep it to 1 word, -SIG... again for the same reason...but also because without - SiG it's crazy expensive. I would consider .org for standard sake to other SiGs and ISOC. So, communitynetworks-sig.org<http://communitynetworks-sig.org> Nico, go for whatever makes most sense. I trust you will consider everyones input and make a good choice. Thanks, Sol PS: as we are independent we can do whatever we want (even "thereturnoftheisoccnsig.globe.info<http://thereturnoftheisoccnsig.globe.info>" :) On 23 Dec 2017 7:58 PM, "George Klissiaris" <gklis@sarantaporo.gr<mailto:gklis@sarantaporo.gr>> wrote: We could register both of them (community-networks.net<http://community-networks.net> and cnsig.info<http://cnsig.info>) just in case we need it in the future and redirect the one to the other if we like. Also the communitynetworks.net<http://communitynetworks.net> may be already registered but it is not in currently in use and they say the sell it, which means that we could buy it sometime in the future or wait until they don't uodate it again and register it after that.

But then we shouldn't forget that this body is an ISOC one and perhaps the url should reflect this. In this sense, I like cnsig.info<http://cnsig.info>. And I also like community-networks.net<http://community-networks.net> because it is more encompassing and looks nice (with the small drawback that people don't remember to put "dashes" inside URLs and there might be confusion with the communitynetworks.net<http://communitynetworks.net>). We could even have both, and community-networks.net<http://community-networks.net> could be a simple portal to (hopefully) many different coalitions between community networks around the world under different umbrellas or no umbrellas :-) And the cnsig could be more specific to the activities of the SIG inside ISOC. I am not sure, just thinking loud ...
