Dear Mr. Gunther,


I inquired because I owned this domain name for over 10 years through July, 2017, and, through some glitch with the domain processor, they allowed it to be available. I am working through this with them at this very moment.


I am not a commercial entity. I am a professor at Harvard. In 2005, I created a small not for profit organization named Advocates for Privately Owned Public Space, thus APOPS.


As you may imagine, I am concerned about this. As a not for profit with virtually no assets, I am unable to recommend paying for the very domain name we have had for 10 years. If you are willing to part with it, however, for a payment that reflects your costs of acquisition, I would be thrilled to do so with great appreciation. It is important to me, as you may imagine.


For the website of APOPS, please take a look:
apops.mas.org,


Thanks for responding so quickly.


Sincerely, Jerold Kayden "
