Re: [atlarge-discuss] Web hosting and webmaster

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Sotiris and all stakeholders or other interested parties,

  You know Sotiris's is right on both points here everyone...
Especially in his first point...  The Domain Name change for
this At-Large effort may indeed need to change.

  But I would point out that in the mean time, with Sotiris, Eric,
and currently Bret hosting the DN we have, the need to move
right away of the ICANNATLARGE.COM DN or it's
Web Pages to another DN, is not eminent or a necessity.

  In Sotiris's point #2, also a realistic and normal concern regardless
of whom has been the Web master, changing the passwords
and login's is just good security policy...
