Jefsey,

Is the WG-DNS an official creation of the Panel?   Can you point me to its 
Terms of Reference?

Mind you, I start to understand  your approach of "all Chiefs-no Injuns" 
now there is clearly so much lack of co-operation and such an intense 
interest in personal control.

As *any* member can start  a website and ask to be linked,  a few more 
Panel member websites will make very little difference. What you will end 
up with is Parties.

Fine with me, as long as there is a solid co-ordinating icannatlarge.org

What about the existing content? Especially voting.htm and its record of 
official happenings?

I get the impression from Jamie that he is more interested in getting rid 
of current content. I wish he would specify *what* , so that I could act on 
his wishes, or ask  him for a Panel vote.
If it is about fresh content, a website http://jamie.atlarge.org would 
certainly help. But he and other Panel members seem unaware that the 
current Forum already provides for each  member to create his own space for 
posting proposals.
There is already a special section for Panel members. The Forum Admin can 
create more.

If the registration part of the website is still wanted , the new webmaster 
will have the  FTP keys and he can examine the PHP code at leisure.  Maybe 
the Panel will want some changes in the registration form, but nobody has 
expressed any specific wishes, so far.

The future management of the registration facility and the database should 
typically be the job of the new webmaster.

But the Panel and the members must be assured of regular data-backups to 
people who stand well above the day-to-day political fray ,such as Karl , 
Andy MM or Katoh-san, and the future webmaster should commit to that.
