I was far from telling that UCL should be the primary mirror. They have supported GM in the past and they offer a great deal in providing the gnomemeeting.org server. (though it's no dedicated hosting, so this is nothing too challenging for a setup) My primary point is however that we could provide even better support with the help from the community if we'd have DNS under our control. That way we could still leave the UCL server in charge while there's no problems, but we could expand that in case there is. But you know all this already. We have a great community and it's only the lack of control that i find annoying in such situations. -- Best regards, Kilian
