>==================================================
>
>For numerous reasons posted by me earlier, passage of this motion is not
>only appropriate, but *ensures* the continued survival of the Project.
>
>More importantly, passage of this motion NOW is *urgent*
>
>Why? Because the registration of the
USGenWeb.Com domain EXPIRED on July
>11, 2000.
>
>I respectfully urge the Advisory Board to immediately HALT all other
>business in order to effect IMMEDIATE passage of this motion.
>
>I have created a Support Motion 22 website at
>
>
http://www.geocities.com/usgw_domain/index.html
>
>that includes the motion, the applicable section of the bylaws, all three
>current domain registrations, additional facts (Q &A), and a
>"guestbook-type" form where all members of the USGenWeb Project can voice
>their SUPPORT of this extremely important motion.
>
>This is NOT political.
>
>This is FOR the Project and its Membership.
>
>I urge ALL members, including ALL Advisory Board members to SUPPORT MOTION 22.
>
>Please add your name to the Support Motion 22 site and please get the word
>out to ALL CCs about Motion 22 and the Support Motion 22 site.
