Bret et al.,

2 points on this issue:

1) This discussion may be academic as we may be headed for a domain/name 
change, as the Panel will be considering this matter shortly.  In the 
event that a new name is chosen, there is no requirement that we use the 
same host.  Plus, I am willing to provide the hosting service free of 
charge.

2) I am sure many would be uncomfortable with simply changing the 
webmaster from Joop to anyone else without changing the ftp/ssh 
login/password.  Joop has already shown us that he's willing to 
disregard propriety when it comes to member email lists and I would be 
very uncomfortable knowing he had any sort of access to the site back-end.

Sincerely,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
