As far as a takeover, I very seriously doubt that would be allowed as long as the owner replies to an inquiry from GIO management.? I don't believe there's a set procedure for a missing owner yet.? Anyone could take over a group if they managed to sign in as the group owner though.? Rather than go through all that, it would be much easier to start a new group for the same subject.? Happens more often than some people realize.
For DOS or similar, I feel like Mark has a good handle on things like that.
