<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Dear Jeremy<br>
<br>
Looks good. Are IGC members now happy with having a formal membership<br>
list? I am sorry if I was not able to follow that discussion.<br>
<br>
IGC members might be interested to know that the APC servers (where the<br>
IGC site is hosted) are looked after by GreenNet -<br>
<a href="http://www.gn.apc.org/" target="_blank">http://www.gn.apc.org/</a> - an APC member and an ethical internet service<br>
provider based in London.<br>
<br>
Thanks also to Sarah Escandor-Tomas, APC's techie based in the<br>
Philippines who has provided Jeremy with support when he needed it - not<br>
that he needs much :)<br>
<br>
