The reason I said GitHub specifically in the proposal is because we as an organization have an official GitHub account at https://github.com/opennic where things like the homepage and wiki backups are currently hosted. That is the location we will be hosting the automatic backups if this proposal is passed, and that repository (yet to be created) will be recognized as officially operated by the OpenNIC organization.

Of course people are free to clone it or create their own backups, it’s all public data, just “AXFR" the zone. But community mirrors won’t be recognized as “official” within the scope of this proposal.

While I can't say anything about the specifics of this, as I don't run any TLDs, you might want to take into account the current volatile nature of Github, by specifically stating that members can vote to move things to other sites in the event of a problem. We shouldn't try and predict the finances and (mis)management of Github, but instead change these proposals to specifically state that members can vote to move hosting to other places.

Git was designed for repositories to be widely mirrored, so I suggest
replacing "GitHub" with "public Git hosting services" and keeping a list
of multiple official OpenNIC Git mirrors.

Also, there should be a procedure for returning archived TLDs to active
status if an operator steps forward.
