I made some use of it back when I was Secretary of the Libertarian Party of California, but it mostly remains fallow. I didn't pay anything extra for it, either when I first got it or with my annual renewals, so that small cost seemed worth it. And ".info" is at least a tier-2 domain, not as valuable as ".com" or ".org" but better than a lot of the crap that's now available.<div><br></div><div>I'm not convinced that it's worth $1,000 to get "Libertarian" as a top-level domain. Is anyone really going to bother with such a long extension, when short familiar ones like ".com" and ".org" are the standard? Nobody will accidentally go to a web page that ends in ".libertarian", so the risk of confusion or deception seems minimal. It might tickle our own egos, but that's about it. If we had lots of spare money I'd be tempted, but our financial situation is not good and there are many higher priorities.</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry to be such a kill-joy.</div><div><br></div><div>Dan Wiener</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 6:26 PM, Sam Goldstein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:goldsteinatlarge@gmail.com" target="_blank">goldsteinatlarge@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">A couple members on the LPIN Leadership page just brought this to my attention:<div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(55,62,77);font-family:helvetica,arial,'lucida grande',sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.3599996566772px;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(246,247,248)">Hey, the internet top level domain libertarian is available.
