Open Stack

Hi,

it's critical, I would say. They canceled the registration just today 
[1], but there are still copyrights for name parts like  "S-Bahn 
Halleipzig". I would remove it from the voting list to prevent us from 
trouble. S-Bahn is not really a location in Berlin. If it does, S-Bahn 
is broken ;-)

kind regards

Frank (from Berlin)
