Chris, Geek, MPDev: I, uh, can handle the domain... I'll pony up the various "vbProfessional.xxx" domains for the project.

If this takes off I'll be more than happy to transfer the domains to the organizing body. Between us we all have a bunch of server resources so it's just a matter of drawing straws to see who wants to host it. I can volunteer time & resources as well. As long as the project remains neutral I think it'll succeed.
