Updated list above for removals/couple of missing records. See PR here. As per Fuhu's edits, I just copied over the terraform file to my fork. His work is still captured. I can't create another fork if I already have one, apparently.

[robert-bryson]

Moving to blocked, waiting on 18f PR and Touchpoints account reactivated.

[robert-bryson]

Just got merged!

[FuhuXia]

federation.data.gov reported down. We should not delete it.

Need to be a site point of contact to be able to clean up the list on Touchpoints. I reached out to Ryan Wold to get myself added.

[robert-bryson]

@hkdctol, Ryan Wold set me as the Point of Contact for those sites so I am able to manage them myself. I'm communicating with him as per what I should be setting them to and also what the Point of Contact should be long term.

I have gone through the list on Touchpoints and there are a number of differences between the list above and Touchpoints. A number of subdomains are not on the list in what would be the sketch for this story. Below are subdomains that are missing.

Subdomains on touchpoints that are not in 18f/dns terraform (have DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error):

• alpha
• businessusa
• consumer
• disaster
• disasters
• ecosystems
• finance
• globaldevelopment
• humanrights
• jobkit
• law
• make
• manufacturing
• next
• research
• safety
• science
• skills
• smallbusiness
• smartdisclosure
• vocab
• weather

Subdomains on touchpoints that are in 18f/dns terraform (404s on data.gov side):

• climate - redirect fails. Note _acme-challenge.climate also exists.
• developer - redirect functions, but /developers/ not found, also _acme-challenge.developer exists.
• food - redirect functions, but /food/ not found, also _acme-challenge.food exists.
• highlights - redirect functions, but /highlights/ not found, also _acme-challenge.highlights exists.
• labs - redirect functions, but /labs/ not found, also _acme-challenge.labs exists.
• ocean - redirect functions, but /ocean/ not found, also _acme-challenge.ocean exists.

It is not clear to me either the origin of the list provided in the ticket or why these differences exist. I believe we can remove the former list from Touchpoints with the web ui and the latter with that and a PR to 18f/dns as well. Please let me know if otherwise, @FuhuXia & @hkdctol. If that sounds good, I will make the PR/decommission/archive them.

Lastly, I decommissioned the records listed in the ticket. I also clicked the archive button (as recommended by Ryan Wold), but I don't think they are indeed archived; the UI returns a message saying 'Authorization is Required' and the button is labelled 'For Registry Managers'.

[robert-bryson]

@hkdctol to find the details on Touchpoints go here (and filter for data.gov to make it a bit more readable).

When I say in 18f/dns terraform, I am referring to this file that is the actual definition of resources in code.

[hkdctol]

On climate, we did retain those old posts, could it redirect to https://data.gov/climate/1/? All the rest in that list of 6--I don't think we need.

[robert-bryson]

Ok, I will change that redirect and remove the rest. I assume that I'm free to go ahead and decommission/archive the first list?

[hkdctol]

let me ask ryan what that means

[hkdctol]

@robert-bryson we can proceed--thanks

[FuhuXia]

On climate, we did retain those old posts, could it redirect to https://data.gov/climate/1/? All the rest in that list of 6--I don't think we need.

This is done already in the code here. I just ran cf command cf map-route www-redirects climate.data.gov and now it is live.

[robert-bryson]

Looks like this PR was just approved (and hopefully merged soon!). Once in, this ticket can be closed.

[robert-bryson]

18f/dns PR merged!

Would be closed, but @FuhuXia caught that I missed cleaning up the redirects for these. See that PR here.
