domain by the ACL webmaster who will use a consistent registrar
over the years and register all new domains for periods of 10
years.
7. A committee that includes Alex, Tsujii, Robert, and Owen will come
up with a detailed proposal along these lines. The proposal may be

handbook and will provide useful information such as the list of
tasks performed by the local committee, organized by position.
