tlug: Volunteer Needed: domain coordinator

[Craig Oda <craig@example.com>]

Hi,
it's starting to look like we're going to need a volunteer to
handle the domain registration.  This process is actually pretty
easy.  However, it is all in Japanese if we use JPNIC.

The responsibilities as I see them are:

  1) coordinate with Scott, John, or someone else to get primary DNS
     set up on the TLUG server with tlug.ml.org.  Or, tackle it yourself 
     if you want to.  However, the skills we're looking for are more 
     people administration and the ability to read Japanese and English.
     If you're not comfortable with the technology, it is daijyobu.

  2) Register with NIC for the tlug.ml.org domain.  See
     http://www.ml.org for more information.  This is totally free.  :-)

  3) Get a feeling for what domain the group wants to go for next.
     The trend seems to be tlug.gr.jp.  Just post on the list a few
     times, "hey, how about tlug.gr.jp?  Any other suggestions?"
     See http://www.nic.ad.jp/jpnic/domain/domain-name-gr-trans.txt
     For more information.

  4) when you get a feeling for the desires of the group, do the
     registration with JPNIC.  See http://www.nic.ad.jp for more information.
     The registration is entirely in Japanese and done by e-mail.
     You must be able to read Japanese.

  5) arrange with Scott to get their ISP to register the new TLUG
     domain in the JPNIC registry and arrange payment to PHT if required.

  6) that's it.  Sit back and relax.


If problems occur with any step, you can send them to me and I can
take care of them.   


Regards,
Craig
