Good question. There isn't a real succession plan. We do have a handful 
of people behind the scenes (the TUHS team) who have access to the 
server and who could take over the care and feeding if required. The 
regular operations are mostly documented but, as always, could be 
improved upon.

The "assets" are nearly all publicly available. The Unix archive can be 
easily copied: see the end of 
https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=source:unix_archive

The mailing list contents can be downloaded from here as Zip files: 
https://www.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/

The actual list of people on the list isn't available, although the TUHS 
team could easily get a copy.

The "tuhs.org" domain I have registered until May 2030.

What I should probably do is to ask one of the TUHS team to volunteer to 
a) put their credit card up as a secondary for my cloud provider in case 
my card stops working and b) give them access to the cloud provider so 
they can make their card the primary one.

I did try to float the idea of a more formalised TUHS structure a while 
back but there was not much enthusiasm at the time :-)

Cheers, Warren

P.S. And I should set up a "dead man's hand" script to tell the list if 
I have been 'inactive' for a few weeks.
