<br>
I have somehow ended up as the only contact for the <a href="http://svlug.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">svlug.com</a> domain, <br>
which is using the <a href="http://linuxmafia.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">linuxmafia.com</a> nameserver among others.<br>
<br>
I don't know if SVLUG is still active -- is anyone on this list active <br>
in SVLUG and interested in being added as a contact for this domain? <br>
Renewal coming up in July.<br>
