Transferring kde.gr.jp to KDE e.V.

Hi,
I'm Jumpei Ogawa from Japanese KDE community.

In 2013, KDE sysadmin team suggested to transfer legacy Japanese web site
domain kde.gr.jp to KDE e.V.
We discontinued discussion because I got busy. Apologies for no response
for long.

Recently I discussed with Japanese community members, and decided to ask
domain transfer.
If you are still willing to accept transfer, we'd like to transfer it.


The circumstances
============

kde.gr.jp domain is legacy domain for Japanese KDE web site. It has been
used for Japanese web site by Apr 2013, and now it has migrated to
jp.kde.org. kde.gr.jp domain is managed and paid by some Japanese community
members.

While we discuss about web site migration, Ben Cooksley suggested us to
transfer kde.gr.jp domain to KDE e.V, to prevent loosing control for
kde.gr.jp by e.g. forgetting payment.
According to Ben, KDE e.V. will pay for the domain after transfer.

Here's the log of our communication:

(Only some people have permission to read)


Migration Plan
==========

Currently kde.gr.jp is used for:

- Redirection to new web site http://jp.kde.org (Redirection server is run
by Daisuke Kameda, Japanese community lead)
- @kde.gr.jp Emails (Email server is run by Daisuke too)

So I'm considering following migration plan. How do you think about that?:

1. kde.gr.jp domain will be transfered to the registrar which KDE e.V.
currently use, and managed by KDE.org sysadmins.
2. DNS server will migrate to KDE.org's DNS server. (Current DNS server is
run by Daisuke using AWS Route53)
3. Redirection web server (kde.gr.jp -> jp.kde.org) will migrate to KDE.org
infrastructure
4. Current Email server won't migrate and keep using current one. (Plz
point current email server on DNS.)


Domain ownership
===========

Some Japanese community members concerns if you can transfer kde.gr.jp
domain to JP members again, in case JP members want to manage domain by
themselves in the future.

Is it possible to transfer kde.gr.jp domain to JP members again, in case it
is necessary?

Best,
Jumpei
