I suspect like most folks I've being trying to studiously stay out of 
the politics.

I only note that the new website is now looking very good and certainly 
deserves to made use of, but I would also hate to see Boost fragment in 
any way.

So... while I'm hoping it's not too late for you all to be sending each 
other flowers, perhaps it is also a good time to discuss who should hold 
the boost.org domain?  As long as Beman was alive that was a no-brainer, 
and the Boost Foundation seemed like a logical successor.  But given 
that Kristen is only being introduced to us now, perhaps it's focus is 
now too much elsewhere? If so that would be a shame, and should not be 
taken as meaning the Alliance would be a better owner either. And it 
should clearly not be a single person (far too mortal). So it's is a 
puzzle for sure.

Hoping for a sudden outbreak of goodwill yours, John.
