General Information
This is the Members' discussion forum for the OpenNIC. You can find more information about the OpenNIC at our primary web site.

The OpenNIC is a user controlled Network Information Center offering a democratic, non-national, alternative to the traditional Top-Level Domain registries. In case you were looking for them, the traditonal TLDs are currently served by Network Solutions with policies set by ICANN.

Membership in the OpenNIC is open to every user of the Internet. All decisions are made either by a democratically elected administrator or through a direct ballot of the interested members and all decisions, regardless of how they are made, within OpenNIC are appealable to a vote of the general membership.

none of the .oss root servers are responding nor is the listed registry responding. as such, this tld should be removed until such time as the original administrator appears to get things going again or a new home can be found.

along those lines, i would be ammenable to taking over the .oss tld if the current administrator would be willing for such a transfer to take place.

Unfortunately I learned today from a third party source that the company I work for may be firing people *soon*. I'm potentially on the chopping block.
