You morbid, you.  ;)

I know I missed all the fun, but getting a 'company' (such as  
Catalyst) to manage the domain, rather than a 'person' (Donald), does  
make sence if Donald suddenly turns evil or something,  however, in  
my experience, having a 'company' in the way of a quick dns or  
hosting change can be a pain. If we (wellylug) were a legal entity it  
would make things such as this easier - but having a clause in ones  
will - "i hereby give anyone still on the wlug-org list the following  
access to..." would just as easily work I imagine. IANAL.

It does make a lot of sense to have a secondary backup of the details  
- just in case, but as we really have no king, and our systems to  
date work - it's probably easiest to leave it as it is.

Saying that, we should probably clearly document who "owns" what  
"wellylug stuff" - not that "wellylug" exists. Succession planning if  
you must.
