<div>Actually while this seemed to me the obvious way forward at
first - BB emerged out of IGC, so why not get back together
again - on reflection there are a few issues.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Firstly I note that the IGC website is down so I cant check
things - but from memory IGC had a constitution which we adopted
early on which proved very difficult to change, and which may
not be altogether suitable for what is needed now. I think this
should be looked at before everyone is locked into something
that is unsuitable. Can someone get the website up and running?</div>

<p><br>
</p>
<p>I can't volunteer for that because whenever I volunteer to run a
website for a limited time I end up doing so in perpetuity, and I
feel bad about stopping. However, I can donate a paid virtual
server for SOMEONE ELSE to administer on their own. This is the
one that Best Bits is using now. It's paid up for about 5 years.<br>
</p>
<p>Also, as one of the original co-founders of Best Bits I do
support the merger, and your (Ian's) suggestion still seems to be
the best one on the table. There are previous Steering Committee
members of Best Bits who aren't as happy about it, but I don't
think that a good alternative has been put forward yet.</p>
