[IMC-Tech] indymedia.org domain name issue summary

[Christian Bolstad]

PRQ is neither a domain registrar or in control of the old TPB crew any more
(business beeing sold befiore the trial this spring.

That beeing said, I only got positive experience of Gandi and would have
guessed that they are the best alternative - but when I look at the
info-page I now see that also they got new owners since 2005:
http://www.gandi.net/whowe/.

I can't find any info about their politic stance, anybody who know? It look
like they still are supporting free software though.
