[AG-DEV] Continuation of AG Services - Action Items

[Christoph Willing]

David,

The DNS registration of the accessgrid.org name should still be  
changed to UNewcastle (provided you still want to manage the DNS). The  
web site itself (same as the venue server etc.) can be anywhere.

Different domain registrars will have slightly different procedures  
but, basically, you (or whoever has authority at UNewcastle) will have  
to request transfer of the domain name via UNewcastle's registrar.  
That will ultimately require consent from the current owners. Tom is  
probably best placed to line up that consent with whoever is  
authorised at UChicago.
