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
-> 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
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" :)

We could register both of them (community-networks.net and 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 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.

Hi all,
My feeling is that there is a trade-off in relation to the fact that all
this is happening under
the ISOC umbrella (btw, since there is a "hack" in the Bylaws on our
side I think it is fair to
include that extra sentence in the policy WG).
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.
And I also like 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).
We could even have both, and 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 ...

My proposals (i have already checked they are
available):
1. community-networks.net <http://community-networks.net>
(12,5€/year****) - I find this more suiteable because it highlights
directly what we are: a network of community networks
2. community-networks.org <http://community-networks.org>
(9,3€/year****)
3. community-networks.info
<http://community-networks.info>
(7,2€/year****)

Cnsig is kind of "codified". I like community.network much better.

Hi all,
I was checking available domain names for the CNSIG.
The ones I found more adequate are:
cnsig.info <http://cnsig.info>
cnsig.global
others that also could work:
community.network
communitynetworks.group
The ".info" is the cheapest alternative because it's "old
style"; it's
also the easiest to remember IMHO.
Let's find/propose domain names and choose one during the
following
days, so we can put up a simple website for the group soon.
Cheers!
Nico
