Hello everyone.

As the new chief of the MI.ORG domain, I'd like to make a suggestion:  Let's
get rid of the domain!

Seriously, I think it might be time that the domain be retired.  The folks at
ISI do a pretty good job with the MI.US domain.  Any time I have sent mail
to them, I've always gotten a prompt, courteous reply.

MI.US is becoming increasingly populated.  High schools around Michigan are
getting connected, and they are part of the domain.  There was also a lot of
talk at the last IETF about reserving the EDU domain for four-year colleges
and universities, and placing other schools under <state>.US.

How would people feel about a slow transition to remove the MI.ORG domain
in favor of the MI.US domain?  I'd still be willing to act as a front-end
for people who needed some help getting registered.
