The website says: http://www.syneus.fi/. Just have Jyrki contact
me and I can then take from there (I manage the pycon.org domain).

BTW: I'm not sure whether AppEngine allows CNAME redirection.

Thanks.

I can handle the technical aspects of that change, but wanted to make sure I was doing enough to verify the identity of the person asking for the change. Do we have procedures for this sort of thing? I have suggested creating a page on the old server with a name that doesn't exist right now. Is there something else I can/should do? (Or can anyone vouch for Jyrki and let us skip this step?)

It does not need to be fancy, it will just prove that you can create a new page on that domain and reassure me that I'm not about to steal it away from the "real" owner. :-)
