I can revive some email chains.

I'm confused by this. Some have migrated away from the locality domains but some are still in use even by official/state purposes.

Here's the website for the Newton, MA public schools: https://www.newton.k12.ma.us/

Belmont: https://www.belmont.k12.ma.us/

I believe Cambridge used to use one as well but I can't confirm that.

Yes, I believe the state policy says no _new_ government use of .us locality subdomains, but old uses might be disruptive to remove and may remain: https://www.mass.gov/policy-advisory/website-domain-policy

It's frustrating that I can point to https://www.foxharp.boston.ma.us as evidence of private use of .boston.ma.us and still be brushed off.
