Hmmmm...

At first when I saw the updated Registry Expiry Date I was thinking it
had been handled, but alas, not all squared away yet as far as I can
tell.

And in case anyone may find it useful, I did, prior to expiration of
sf-lug.{org,com} create DNS entries for [www.]sf-lug.balug.org. for sf-lug,
uh "just in case"*, so, one can use as work-around, e.g.:
http://www.sf-lug.balug.org/
http://sf-lug.balug.org/
And of course webmaster and/or sysadmin of sf-lug can always
redirect (e.g. HTTP 301) from any potentially non-canonical to,
e.g. http://www.sf-lug.org/
... but that might be much more useful later, when DNS for
www.sf-lug.org. goes somewhere that's quite to one's liking.

*was earlier going to be in the midst of some upgrades:
http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2014q3/010562.html
and didn't want some domain expiration(s) to potentially make that
significantly more inconvenient/complex, so, dropped in some
"just in case" DNS entries - and have thus far left them there.
