Geoff,
Thanks for bringing this up. I've though about
Humanities Computing Consortium (hcc.org is taken, as are hcc.net and
hcc.info)
or
Computational Humanities Consortium (but chc.org is taken, as are
chc.net and chc.info)
or maybe
Computational Humanities Organizations (cho.org is taken, ditto .net
and .info)
or
Humanities Computing Organizations (hco.net, .org and .info unavailable)
but clearly, three-letter domain names are impossible to get at this
point. So, how about four?
Organization of Humanities Computing Organizations (ohco.org and
ohco.info are both available--and there's a nice inside joke about the
OHCO thesis, as well as the recursion/redundancy, which is either funny
or not).

If we said CHCO, then chco.info is available

> Organizations (ICLLCO)
Too long, I think but if we did international consortium of humanities
computing organizations, ichco, we can get ichco.net and ichco.org.
adho.net adho.org and adho.info are also all available...
ohco and adho have the virtue of being pronounceable as words, which
cannot be said of the others--but then ACH and ALLC aren't
pronounceable either (unless you want to sound like you're choking on
something).
I guess I'd vote for consortium of humanities computing organizations
as the most straightforward: chco.info is available (and so are
cohco.net, cohco.org, and cohco.info).
We should choose soon, and register one of these.
John
