And transferring ownership of the domain may be fine
with the company,
too. I'm not sure if/how domain registrations differ between individuals
and organizations (not my area of expertise), but again I am happy to
continue liaising between CWUG and the company and answer any specific
questions re: registration and hosting.
I've not heard any resistance to the domain cascadia.wiki for our group,
so shall we continue moving forward with this plan or do we need to raise
the question with other board members or at meta?

Cascadia.wiki is currently being reserved and

request despite being considered a
"premium" name.
Got it. :)
That being said, if the group is more comfortable
with tasking
someone to accept transfer of the domain and maintain
hosting/renewals under his/her own name, we can help with those
arrangements, too. I am not sure what additional detail is needed,
but if you have specific questions or concerns, I'd be happy to
respond.
I think that our long term plan should to have the domain ownership
transfered to our organization. I don't mind if the technical contact,
registration fees, and hosting is donated (in fact, that sounds
wonderful!) but I think it is wise that our organization and its board
have ownership and ultimate over the domain that people use to find
us.
Thank you so much for offering to organize this!
Regards,
Mako
