[ale] sponsoring registrar

[JD]

Contact his heirs.

Have them sign a statement giving the domain, hosting, DNS, etc. to you.  While
I haven't had to deal with registrars - I have recently been the executor of a will.

Go to the heirs - they will likely happily hand it over if there is any email
from you in his email account from before he died ... or you can show posts to
the website with your account or any meeting minutes showing the core group of
responsible people.
