Given that we now have manchester.fsuk.org pointed where requested,
there are no current issues with the setup.

Do we still need another domain?

Some considerations:

We may want something else changed, and may hit the same issue of
getting it done in a reasonable amount of time.

Additional control of the manchester.fsuk.org domain may suffice (NS
pointing to name servers we can maintain).

There are plans for fsuk.org that may be beneficial to Manchester Free
Software.

On the other hand, I don’t fully know what direction those plans will
take.  We may want to do something else instead of, or in addition to,
fsuk.org.  We need to make the aims clear.
