Considering how the ALU and lisp.org site have come up on this list, 
perhaps someone here might be able to keep this on their radar?

In case you have yet to hear about what's coming in second quarter of
2009, new generic Top Level Domains beyond .com, .org, etc. may be any word.

It appears that ICANN will be using an auction/bid approach for initial
allocation.

Perhaps it's appropriate to do a little fund-raising and secure .lisp,
.scheme, etc?

While operating a TLD raises other issues, you can be sure there will be
third party hosting available shortly after.  (When there's a gold rush,
sell shovels.)
