I see absolutely no legal reasons why OSM need to give any pre-notice at all - so what if a domain gets registered by the wrong person, its not against the law and there is no case law that i remember saying I cant register newname-portal.comrjs wrote:I can buy pretty much anything.

I think he was referring to the core team buying all the domains on behalf of others, not of the notification process.I see absolutely no legal reasons why OSM need to give any pre-notice at all - so what if a domain gets registered by the wrong person, its not against the law and there is no case law that i remember saying I cant register newname-portal.com

I think noone want to be published here as the one who stole the domain from another opensource member.
The reputation would be gone!
I dont think they want to do that because they want to keep the name a secretBrett wrote: I think the admins should contact the major mambo domain holders perhaps 2 hours before the release to all of the other mambo domain holders and then release it to the public.
EDIT: They could even send an email to the major domain holders, then the domain holders would have to send an email back to them from that domain, once the core team recieves the email and verified that the email was from whoever thay can send them the nnew project name..
Sure, but I am only talking about the most major ones. I am sure that arthur from mamboportal.com won't tell.

This is definitely MFP so far on this forumd3vlabs wrote: the only domain I would be worried about is $amboportal.com since I'm not even sure if Konze got the news about OSM or $ambo Foundation for that matter.
