Subject: [STATE-COORD-L] The
usgenweb.com domain - letter from the board
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
