Ok. Working with the registrar now to get the issue fixed.
We can find a new (and cheaper) registrar later.
Bye,
Erik.

Please confirm or suggest how to do the donation/payment, and tell me the amount. (For domain only services with the same registrar, I believe it's US$70 for one year US$135 for five and US$235 for nine, which is the maximum duration that they'll allow.)
Is the plan to remain with the existing registrar?
$70/year is absurd. $135 for five is a tad steep but acceptable.
An examples, Wikipedia and Lisp.org have expirations of 2015 and 2016, respectively.
Franz has agreed to handle the ALU's domains (alu.org and lisp.org).
Also, there have been issues in past of this particular domain expiring and someone (Xach, perhaps?) doing an emergency payment to keep it going. Let's just take care of it.
By my memory, that was cliki.net. The ALU had offered to pay for and/or handle administration; but we never got the transfer. Somebody (fortunately friendly) eventually grabbed the domain and transferred it IIRC to drewc.
Daniel's individual opinion: Given the expiration is June 26, somebody (a cl.net admin?) please renew common-lisp.net at your registrar of choice. If nobody offers to donate, please submit a request to alu-board-only@alu.org. I think the board would approve reimbursing the five-year rate. The nine-year rate is silly; it doesn't provide significant savings. Just don't wait for ALU feedback before renewing; the next board meeting is a ways off.
