[governance] Go Live - IGC New Website Launch Announcement

Thu Jul 25 15:06:37 EDT 2019

Sorry for coming and going.
Congratulations for the website - both how much you've done and the speed
you did it with!
If Bestbits is now closed IGC needs to try to stop talking about it?
And IGC probably shouldn't be treating Bestbits former members as
"different"?
The exception obviously is the archive which MUST be clearly attributed to
Bestbits, which everyone agrees about anyway.
All the best
Deirdre
