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

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 ...

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" &lt;gklis(a)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.

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

Lets wrap this up quickly...29th is fine.

I "sort of" did that call with the first e-mail. When some options were proposed and no new ones were coming in I created the poll. We can make it more formal in the future, so we are all clear about our procedures. The poll has very few votes: https://framadate.org/Kkd7aBGMNhiul6gc ... please pick your choice or state your opinion in this e-mail thread. I had proposed friday 29 to end the selection of the domain name, is everyone ok with that or do you prefer us to extend it? If we all prefer to discuss this further, we can of course cancel the poll and keep the discussion open here; but let's set a time-frame to get it solved soon. We need the domain name to operate not only the website but also the lists. Cheers! Nico -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
