Request to hand over Auroville.org.in domain
By letter dated April 9, 2024, the RA-WCom requested the Secretary of the Auroville Foundation to hand over the management and credentials of the domain auroville.org.in and its associated Google workspace to the RA-WCom, which both were set up by members of the Residents' Assembly to enable the Residents' Assembly to fulfil its duties of day-to-day management of Auroville. The RA-WCom stated that it has faced challenges in communicating with all residents of Auroville following the forceful takeover of the domain auroville.org.in. The Secretary was also requested to provide access and passwords of the email IDs [email protected] and [email protected] and of other RA groups and services, and also to prevent the illegal use of those IDs by any other parties. Lastly, it requested that all blocks preventing the uninterrupted and timely communications between auroville.org.in email IDs and non auroville.org.in e-mails be removed.
