ivoa.net subdomain for vocabularies

[Alberto Micol]

Yes, I do confirm what already stated by Juande:
Bruno left the project the past summer, and the ivoa.net domain's  
responsibility (plus mailing lists and twiki)
was transferred to Caltech.

Please contact Sarah at the email address already kindly provided by  
Juande.
