[cp-global] plan for shutting down the iceland domain in may 2027

[cryptoparty postmaster (postmaster cryptoparty.is) via <global@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I would like to cancel the domain cryptoparty.is because it is 
expensive. It was just renewed last week, so we almost one year to 
migrate away from it.

I have also control of the cryptoparty.org domain, so potentially we 
could change the mailinglist to run on the .org domain.

Nevertheless, because there is very little activity, I'd like to ask:
Do we still need this list?

Instead of the mailing list, would it be a good alternative to run a 
cryptoparty Matrix channel instead? If that makes sense, and if there is 
agreement, we could announce the channel on this list and a couple of 
well known people of the cryptoparty community could get admin rights 
for the channel.

Even if it turns out that the mailing lists are no longer necessary, I'm 
willing to keep the web page for cryptoparty.org alive.

I think we shouldn't allow anyone to grab .org and host advertising on it.

For the .is web page I'm not sure it's worth the effort. While the 
domain is still alive during the next 11 months, we could host a page on 
it that says  "the cryptoparty.is domain will be shut down in May 2027, 
please link to cryptoparty.org instead" that might be sufficient?

Let me know what you think.

Best Regards,
The admin of of cryptparty.org and cryptoparty.is


PS: There are a few other low volume mailing lists operating on this 
domain, they will have to be covered to.
