Geeks Without Borders
Nov. 1st, 2002 09:12 amWe're all still working on getting Geeks Without Borders up and running. Should have a 501(c)3 soon, and I'm meeting Dora our webmistress later this month to start getting that up. Lots of problems being overcome, including technical problems with the web site (go to www.gwob.org, if you see an Apache test page, they're not solved yet. We're being hosted by microworld, who have been incredibly unresponsive to questions.)
Then I get a call yesterday from a group called Grantmakers Without Borders, who "want to talk to you about your domain name gwob.org". On the one hand, they seem a good group, and large, and could be of help to us in the future, and I don't really want to start off our relationship with a dispute over domain names. On the other hand, I don't want to give away the domain name. On the other hand, they may be offering to buy it, which might give Geeks Without Borders some decent startup capital. On the other hand, the domain name might be worth more in the long run than anything they'd pay for it (they are a non-profit, after all). I wish we had all the paperwork and web design finished so we could prove we're actually using the domain and aren't just cybersquatters. What to do, what to do....
