DOMAIN STEWARDSHIP POLICY TEMPLATE
==================================

Suggested ethical classification buckets:

  A_CORE_KEEP
    Mission-critical identity/project domains.

  B_PROJECT_REVIEW
    Possibly useful within 12 months. Keep only with a defined use.

  C_SELL_ETHICALLY
    Generic/non-trademark names that may be sold to recover project costs.

  D_DONATE_OR_TRANSFER
    Names that may be useful to a school, nonprofit, public-interest project, or
    appropriate person/group.

  E_DROP_RETURN
    Domains not likely to be used. Turn off auto-renew and allow expiration.

Suggested rule:

  Do not acquire or hold domains mainly to block others.
  Do not target trademarks, identities, or confusion.
  Use proceeds for documented project costs, debt reduction tied to project
  spending, hosting, accessibility, translation, and open-source documentation.
