There are volunteers from within the IGC (made up of technical and non-technical persons, some of whom are past coordinators) who have been working on restoration of the website during last few days. Jeremy Malcom has sponsored five years of hosting and I (under singed) Developed the Website. Contents are obtained from https://web.archive.org. This is a soft launch with soft edits on content to make them relevant. Broken links are removed. Comments are welcome. We believe that the website has to be maintained regularly, with periodic offsite-backups. Tapani Tarvainen is arranging offsite-backups.

The website https://IGCaucus.org has been revived with the minimal necessary requirements and now this Working Group of volunteers is working for its enhancement and completion. We also need to be able to place time triggers to differentiate between new members and old ones. This is archived information.

This is due to the fact that we need to work on an updated list of members, differentiate those who voted in the last elections and who have been members for over 2 months. This would need us to get involved with the matters related to elections which we think should be done in coordination with IGC coordinator and perhaps a group of volunteers who would like to help with organizing the elections.
