Afilias is a global registry services company and the technical provider 
of PIR (see http://www.afilias.info/about_afilias/ and 
http://www.pir.org/about_pir/). The .info domain is completely run by 
Afilias. Slony.org is right because it is an open source project, while 
slony.info is right because it is sponsored by Afilias. Being the 
registrant of the slony.info domain and an Afilias employee and the 
leader of the Slony project ... you can count to three :-)
