    Its been a long time coming - now, if somehow we could have the old ones rescinded!

    EDUCAUSE TO CONTROL .EDU DOMAIN NAMES

    EDUCAUSE <http://www.educause.edu>, the not-for-profit university
    technology consortium, has been appointed the keeper of the .edu
    domain name suffix. The U.S. Department of Commerce announced 11
    April that EDUCAUSE will take official responsibility for registering
    and managing .edu names, which have been mostly restricted until now
    to four-year colleges and universities in the United States. EDUCAUSE
    plans to allow other community colleges access to the .edu domain
    while still protecting its integrity and reputation. In addition to
    processing applications for .edu domain names under established rules,
    EDUCAUSE will also create "a public process through which changes in
    these rules can be prepared, discussed, and recommended to the
    Department of Commerce."

    Cheers,

    George
