;, <htt://www.usgenweb.net>, and
<htt://www.usgenweb.com>, USGenWeb's National Website. This will not
impact your county websites at RootsWeb. My belief is this new
agreement formalizes any verbal agreements each party has had over
the years.
Any questions, I will try to have answered.

Status:
I am very happy to announce I have signed a Hosting Agreement with
Rootsweb.com for our National website.
Over the past few months, the Advisory Board and I have been working
extensively with Tera Phomsopha, a
RootsWeb.com Account Manager, to
establish a legally binding agreement for the hosting of The
USGenWeb Project national organization home page. The AB has
endeavored to examine every aspect of the agreement, two attorneys
volunteered their time to advise us, and
RootsWeb.com has worked
with the AB to formulate an agreement that is fair and beneficial to
both parties.
This confidential agreement was completed to make official, and lay
out in writing, the verbal arrangements that had previously been
made between the two organizations. The contract applies only to the
National website, and will not affect any functionality of the
website or organization. The contract does not apply to XXGenWeb
sites, to Special Projects or to County pages.
Recently, there has been some discussion among some USGenWeb members
regarding these contract negotiations. While the sense that
"something was going on" was correct, much of what has been said
exists only in the imaginations of the authors. Please realize that
I was unable to publicly inform you of the negotiations prior to now
for legal purposes. I apologize for any confusion this may have
caused.
Thanks to all those who made the effort to raise questions, massage
language and explain fine points during this effort. I believe we
can all look forward to a continuing positive relationship with
RootsWeb.com.
