I was ready to abandon the clue.denver.co.us domain, but it has 
finally been sorted out, so I won't.  While I appreciate your 
offer of cash, I like the the regional US domain names not only 
because they're free (or cheap -- I understand that they are not
necessarily free and that a set up fee can be charged for them) 
but because they also don't have to be renewed every year or two.
While I have little objection to paying for a .org domain, the 
renewal would get passed on to who ever takes over the LUG.  
Since our LUG operates pretty much on a zero funds basis, I think
the less overhead and maintenance we take on, the better chance
our LUG has to survive over time.

For future reference, the person that's currently in charge of the 
denver.co.us domain is:

  Chris Garner 
  <cgarner at qwest.net>
  <chris.garner at qwest.com>

He apparently administers a good portion of the front range regional
domains including Boulder, Ft Collins and Colorado Springs.

Current contact information for the administrator of denver.co.us 
should be available by querying the whois database (it seems to be
a little out of date).  For example,

 whois -h whois.isi.edu denver.co.us
 whois -h whois.isi.edu boulder.co.us
 whois -h whois.isi.edu fort-collins.co.us
 whois -h whois.isi.edu greeley.co.us
 whois -h whois.isi.edu colorado-springs.co.us
 etc.

(No one is listed for Greeley.)

More information can be found at the http://www.nic.us/ web site.

To make changes to our domain we need to fill out a US domain template.
A copy of which I'm including below:
