[Chapter-delegates] PILOT sub-domain delegation service

[Anne Lord]

Carlos, Hans, Patrick and Frans,

Thank you for kindly volunteering. I  think 4 or 5 people to work on  
this will be sufficient should we go with isoc.org. I'd like to wait  
to hear additional feedback and discussion on this before we proceed.

Thanks again,

Anne
