I've been corresponding with Jon Postel at ISI regarding this
discussion, trying to get some more information on their thoughts.
This is where most of my information is coming from:

According to Mr. Postel, in email:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The US domain are now delegating portions of the US domain. The US
domain structure is
<local-name>.<locality>.<state-code>.US.
We will delegate a locality. For example, we will delegate
"Ann-Arbor.MI.US"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was news to me.
:>A quick grep/sort/uniq thru the mi maps shows 36 mi.us sites and 48
:>mi.org sites.
:Sounds like people have already voted for mi.org with their hosts.

:I've got yet another host here I'd be willing to register in mi.org, if
:it's a matter of tipping the scales even further... :-)
Heh... you're not the only one.
