[LFG] LFG-Conference domain name

[Miriam Butt]

Hi,

rather than Annie paying for it privately --- I am already paying for 
some other official domain names and have an official budget for such 
things, so please do continue keeping this domain name and have 
LinguistList send me a bill.

And then we can also support LinguistList in some other on top of that.  
But a bill will be easy and straightforward for me to deal with.

Best,

Miriam
