No, but I know who owns the domain name and I rather doubt EY personally pays for hosting.

I rather doubt EY personally pays for hosting.

I think the hosting is still done by Trike Apps.

I could be wrong but I would estimate that changing control of LW is basically about convincing EY.

The last time I discussed this with Trike Apps, their position was that LW is owned by MIRI, and thus Nate Soares is the final authority. I nevertheless expect that convincing EY is a key component of any competent plan.

I predict there will be a in-person conversation about this in roughly a week.

Since it's now been two weeks, I'm late for an update: many in-person conversations happened. There are a few follow-up ones to have online (at least one of which will have to wait until Burning Man is over), and then I'll post about it here on LW.
