There used to be about a dozen (eg. domain squatting approach from the prior holders), and when they came up for renewal, I pushed back. The PPMC requested us to hold odftoolkit.org as the only one ever actually used. So, we dropped the others, saving $$ for the Foundation. The IPMC is the "owner" of this domain (with some dotted-line to Brand), with Infra handling the mechanics. If the IPMC decides to retire odftoolkit, and IPMC/Brand wants to release the domain to a new caretaker, then a simple email (or Jira ticket) can make it happen. Easy stuff.
