Motion #01-27
"I move that the USGenWeb Advisory send the following letter to the Project
members via the general, regional and state mailing lists as mandated by
Motion 01-25:
Dear USGenWeb Project member:
On August 24, 2001 the USGenWeb Advisory Board was notified by the current
registrant of the usgenweb.com domain name, Dale Schneider, that he is no
longer interested in keeping it. He has offered to sell the registration
to the USGenWeb Project for $2500; if the Project is not interested in
purchasing it they indicate they will sell it at auction. Mr. Schneider
has indicated that the price is negotiable and that there are several
weeks available for the Project to make a decision on purchasing the
domain.
Please be assured that the Advisory Board is looking into the various
options available to us and we will keep you informed as to the status of
the domain and how we decide to respond to Mr. Schneider's offer. In the
interim, we would like to remind all project members that our official
domain is http://www.usgenweb.org and that all links to the USGenWeb
Project home page should use this domain.
If you have any questions about this issue or comments you would like to
make, please contact your representative(s). A list of representatives
and their contact information can be found at:

Sincerely,
Holly Timm, National Coordinator
and the
The USGenWeb Advisory Board"
