Am I the only one SKEPTICAL here?
Let's pause for a while and think more about this FREE domain name offer some anonymous guy donated.

I don't know who registered it, and why it's being offered for free to Group DIY, but if he's anonymous, how can we know he won't pull the plug after 6 months when we start using the domain name.... The fact it's registered by someone in Canada, where Chris lives, makes me suspicious.
I say, ownership and management of this domain name (if the registrant really wants to donate it to Group DIY) should be given to a leader/member of Group DIY. He can't remain some anonymous, nameless, individual.
I don't want 6 months or 1 year down the road, this guy will be in a fight with Group DIY, and then cut off the domain name.
Maybe he's well meaning and won't do that, but I've been around the net a very long time and disputes with regards to domain name are always nasty. I say we must own the domain name, otherwise, we shouldn't use it. Heck, it's only $7.95 a year to register a .COM
Do you want your business having a domain name owned and managed by someone your don't know, and where you don't have direct control over the domain name? NO!
