I'm pretty sure that's "MAFIAA", not "MAFFIA".

An important thing to accomplish (though I'm not sure how to do so) is to
make it a lot easier for people to get domains using OpenNIC TLDs to
resolve to shared hosting accounts, I think.  Almost no shared hosting
providers, as far as I know, are set up so that people can have their
opennic.tld domains resolve to their shared hosting accounts.
