Yeah, such a process could take long and could become very expensive...

I thought having a real domain for monotone itself would be nice for

a) general project recognition
b) subdomain handling (e.g. bugs.somedomain.tld)

I'm not sure how well a .ca tld would serve the second purpose, since 
this is a country, rather than a general top level domain, so I'd be 
more happy if the people around here would find any good .net or even 
better .org address, but as far as I can tell most people jumped on the 
monotone.ca train. (Sure there are a lot people from Canada involved, 
but you never know how long this keeps a good reason.)

Btw... if monotone.ca wins, how much does that cost per year (in Euro / 
US-$)? Couldn't find pricing info on cira.ca.
