    In addition to the points I recently brought up about NameCoin, Fusl
    also discovered the following article where it appears one of their
    own developers criticizes OpeNIC directly for making their .bit
    domains available to our users, however nobody from their group have
    ever contacted us to say there were any problems with our
    implementation or even ask us to stop peering with them.

    The previous discussion on this topic was short-lived, but seemed to
    produce little in the way of support or dissent for .bit domains,
    possibly meaning that there is simply very little interest in .bit
    overall.
    
    At this time I would like to call for a vote on whether we should
    keep peering with NameCoin or drop all support.  The vote can be
    found here: https://wiki.opennic.org/votings/drop_namecoin
    
    Due to the low volume of chat and emails at this time of year, I
    have set the vote for a two-week period, ending on June 25th. 
    Hopefully that will give everyone interested a chance to weigh in. 
    For those not familiar with the voting page, please use your OpenNIC
    user account credentials (the same one you use on the servers page
    or to sign in to be.libre) to log in to the wiki in order to cast
    your vote.  Select if you want to keep or drop .bit, then click the
    grey "Your Vote" button.
