Does your org own your domain name and trademark?

If not - make a fallback plan now!

I'm watching in horror as the W3C tries to retain control over its domain w3.org and the w3c trademark, which to date has been held on its behalf by MIT.

MIT's lawyers seem to me to have spotted an opportunity to make some money by gouging the not-for-profit standards body.

@steely_glint can you point me to some source marrying what is going on with w3c.org? I’m out of the loop since this is the first time I heard about issues with the domain and DuckDuckGo didn’t give back any useful results

@blit32 best bet is to follow @robin - or if your org is a w3c member have a chat with your AC rep who will have been getting members only updates.
