I have at least three _AutoFixture_-related domain names:
- autofixture.com
- autofixture.net
- autofixture.org
These lapse in about six months. Since I'm no longer involved with AutoFixture and I don't use these domain names for anything, I don't intend to keep them.
I don't think that they are being used for anything at the moment, but they could be set up to point to an AutoFixture landing page.
I'll gladly transfer them to the AutoFixture project.
This most likely involves setting up some entity that will be the 'owner' of these domain names. The way this is usually handled is by having an open-source foundation that takes care of such things on behalf of the project. For AutoFixture, I'd consider it natural to contact the .NET Foundation, but any foundation could serve that purpose.
Let me know, within the next six months, if you'd like me to transfer these domain names. If I don't hear anything, I'll get rid of them.

@ploeh thank you, Mark. It is generous of you to offer these domain names.
I'd like to mention there's also autofixture.io which I registered some time ago, hoping to move the documentation/landing page to Azure or some other hosting service. I'll gladly transfer it was well to the AutoFixture project.
I think the .NET Foundation is a good fit considering the size and the role of the project in the community.
Looking at the eligibility criteria of the .NET Foundation, there are some minor things that we'll need to adjust in order for the application process to go as smooth as possible.
@zvirja @moodmosaic @adamchester @ecampidoglio do you have any opinions on this topic?

I, too, think it's time for AutoFixture to join the .NET Foundation. I created an issue to track the work required to get the project 100% compliant, should we decide to move forward.

I agree with what @ecampidoglio wrote about the .NET Foundation. About the domain names, perhaps just one is good enough.
