Please forward the following to state and other lists as appropriate, thank
you.
Dear USGenWeb Project member:
On August 24, 2001 the USGenWeb Advisory Board was notified by the current
registrant of the
usgenweb.com domain name, Dale Schneider, that he is no
longer interested in keeping it. He has offered to sell the registration to
the USGenWeb Project for $2500; if the Project is not interested in
purchasing it they indicate they will sell it at auction. Mr. Schneider has
indicated that the price is negotiable and that there are several weeks
available for the Project to make a decision on purchasing the domain.
Please be assured that the Advisory Board is looking into the various
options available to us and we will keep you informed as to the status of
the domain and how we decide to respond to Mr. Schneider's offer. In the
interim, we would like to remind all project members that our official
domain is
http://www.usgenweb.org and that all links to the USGenWeb
Project home page should use this domain.
If you have any questions about this issue or comments you would like to
make, please contact your representative(s). A list of representatives and
their contact information can be found at:

Sincerely,
Holly Timm, National Coordinator
and the
The USGenWeb Advisory Board
