Dear Christian, We are now past the domain's expiration date, and whois gives the following status for the domain name: Domain Name:DEBIAN-MULTIMEDIA.ORG Created On:16-Apr-2006 12:50:31 UTC Last Updated On:17-Apr-2013 08:56:43 UTC Expiration Date:16-Apr-2014 12:50:31 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:OVH (R135-LROR) Status:CLIENT DELETE PROHIBITED Status:CLIENT HOLD Status:CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED Status:AUTORENEWPERIOD It seems that this is now our last opportunity to transfer the domain to a Debian trusted organization. If we fail to do that, a domain squatter is likely to register it, and might use it in a way that could be harmful to Debian and to users of the debian-multimedia.org service. So, I urge you to reconsider your decision not to collaborate with Debian to transfer this domain name.
