Hi there, Just as my vote I do think we should not allow such a complete copy of the name (ai-geostats) used for other sites. As a general rule if the goal of those sites is something about geostatistics they must not use ai-geostats or even similars. If their aims are different then also to avoid numerous misunderstanding and unpredictable issues with the contents of those sites, keeping in mind what is the duty of ai-geostats as a web site we should keep our rights perfectly as the community of geostatistics. The reputation of the ai-geostats should be kept safe from abusing in any form including intellectual property considerations, I do think.
