Sala, I believe that this is your first "work" message as co-coordinator to the list, again congratulations! And thank you for making the clear proposal/summary.<div><br></div><div>Just to explain a little more. Until now, Jeremy has kindly extended his work</div>

<div>after stepping down from the co-coordinator around the web management.</div><div>He also worked very hard to streamline the web site management and </div><div>improved it vastly as we all know.</div><div><br></div><div>

In order to further strengthen and stabilize our web operation, he suggested</div><div>that we consider the merging of the web and mailing list servers, and also</div><div>move it to a stable, commercial hosting. He will kindly offer his service</div>

<div>for the transition work, too.</div><div><br><div>So, we, co-coordinators discussed about this, and concluded that it's time</div><div>to start migration, with proper fund-raising. I believe $150 is also annual</div>

<div>cost for the server, thus $500 for 3 years. Jeremy, correct me if I am wrong.</div><div><br></div><div>For the fund, we welcome both small payment as well as big (?) money.</div><div>I mean if you could pledge say $50 per person, that will be highly appreciated.</div>

<div><br></div><div>We may not take the vote, but rough consensus on this list</div><div>should be sufficient for the action.  </div><div><br></div><div>But we like to listen to you all first.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you.</div>
