that "InternetSociety.org" is more meaningful on press releases from HQ,
especially with capital I and S.

      <pre wrap="">Hi Andreu,
This was also my initial suggestion, to have **.isoc.org and **.internetsociety.org aliases distributed  to each and every recognized chapter.
The cost for this operation would be 0 , it's just a matter making some changes in the dns.</pre>

    I am afraid the cost of maintaining thisÂ  would be substantially
    greater thanÂ  0 for the HQ DNS admins. Think they would have to
    update the NS records the sub-domains, plus DS keys for sub-domains,
    etc..Â  I am not sure all chapters have their own DNS server either.
    Hence, HQ would have to administer the sub-domain. Yet another cost.

    More than a question of cost, it is also if it is relevant to have
    two domain names. "ISOC" is meaningful and unambiguous in my local
    community. "Internet Society" much less. Some less English-savvyÂ 
    locals translate it literally to French,Â  and think we are a
    commercial ISP :-)<br>
    <br>
    From my side, I see no added value at the local level,Â  I agree
    though that "InternetSociety.org" is more meaningful on press
    releases from HQ, especially with capital I and S.<br>
