Hi Dave,

I was not aware of that and I think it's good news ! Thanks for your
efforts and to all the people involved in PGCAC. However I'm confused
because the whois request on the .org domain does not mention the
association at all.

http://www.whois.com/whois/postgresql.org

Am I missing something ?

Meanwhile is it possible to have some more information about the PGCAC
association ? Who's involved in it ? How people can help ? etc. Maybe a
page on the PostgreSQL wiki ?

PS : I'll contact you offlist today for the domain transfer
