Agreed. I'll request dnsadm@ to give us current CC zone (and its
administrator contact) list to clarify current status.

As one of hostmaster@jp.FreeBSD.org, I'd say (2) is correct. We are
responsible to maintain jp.FreeBSD.org domain for years and
(hopefully) administered as quickly as we can.
The direction of (3) and (4) seems good. I think we should "add"
ftp*.us.FreeBSD.org from ftp*.FreeBSD.org (not "move") to keep
currently available famous mirrors.
