Hello,

I wanted to give everyone an update regarding what is happening with the boost.org domain. We are working with the lawyer representing the Dawes estate to transfer control. However, Beman Dawes was the only one with the credentials, and the transfer process without them is onerous. It may take many months.

We intend to continue to provide updates.

Kristen,

Thank you for the update. I'm wondering, because only because I'm curious, which credentials are you referring to? With the domain registrar? With the DNS provider? Something else?

Wow, that was terrible grammar on my part. :-) Please apply human or AI grammar correction as needed. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supone Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net

Confident it will be transferred, but the transfer will take many months. We are missing a credential to the registrar provider. We have the credentials to the DNS provider. On Fri, Aug 30, 2024 at 2:11 PM Robert Ramey via Boost < boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:

I'm curious. Are you confident that ownership of the boost.org domain will be transfered to the Boost Foundation but that that process will take many months? Or are you in negociations to acquire the boost.org domanin which will take many months?

Warm Regards, Kristen

I'm not close to all this, so forgive me if I speak out of turn, but for me the prevailing sentiment is thanks for all you have done, not blame for any possible dropping of the ball. We all have lives that demand our attention. Kind Regards Rob. On Fri, 13 Sept 2024 at 08:17, Michael Caisse via Boost < boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:

It was brought to my attention that there are questions about the timing (or lack of) with the registrar transfer for boost.org. I don't see where that thread might be ... but this one has "domain" in the subject so it will work (o;

In May 2022 (ironically while "boostcon" was in progress), boost.org stopped working. I was personally paying the easyDNS bill and had naively assumed that it included the registrar fee. I had Beman's credentials for easyDNS because I had helped him on occasion with DNS configurations.

After a couple hours on the phone with the registrar we established that bill had not been paid, the owner was deceased, and the paperwork had been emailed to me to begin the transfer petition. Unfortunately, we still were at an impasse on how to re-establish the domain in short time until I simply offered to pay the balance plus multiple years of future fees. Ends up, they don't really care who pays the bill as long as the bill gets paid. So I personally paid the fees and within a short time boost.org was back up.

In my personal life, I was shutting down Ciere Consulting and starting a new job. With the dozens of pressures that required my immediate attention, completing the legal paperwork was not one of them. So, I didn't do the paperwork. The registrar was paid and all the configuration was via openDNS.

Was that irresponsible and poor judgement on my part? Sure, if you want to take that spin, go for it. From my view it was a reasonable assessment of risk. Why was the paperwork never completed? Because it certainly wasn't very high on my list of things to do. Was that irresponsible and poor judgement in 2024? Probably so, especially with the uptick in popularity of boost.org... but here we are.

For many years I've stepped in and paid bills or cleared problems so that things just keep working. I just noticed that the Boost Docker subscription renewed. Like many of you I just want to fix things and see stuff move forward. Should I have followed up with proper paperwork or having bills paid by another entity? Absolutely, and that is on me. If folks are looking for who messed up the domain ownership. I am the one who didn't do anything with the domain ownership in a timely manner.
