If Ron does not want to give up the DNS name to another person, it
would be understandable since it's probably worth a fair amount of
money, can we get him to turn vanagon.com into a redirect to some new
site?

Or perhaps we could create a corporation, elect a board, blah blah and
then get Ron to hand over control of vanagon.com to that entity
instead of an individual? It's not too difficult or expensive to do
this, I've been involved in a few nonprofit hobby-type groups that
have done similar things.

I think that people are quite used to "vanagon.com" being the mailing
list -- seems unwise to give it up. But I'm sure we could come up with
some other catchy DNS name, provided that Ron could redirect
vanagon.com to it.
