Dear USGenWeb Project member: On August 24, 2001 the USGenWeb Advisory Board was notified by the current registrant of the usgenweb.com domain name, Dale Schneider, that he is no longer interested in keeping it. He has offered to sell the registration to the USGenWeb Project for $2500; if the Project is not interested in purchasing it they indicate they will sell it at auction. Mr. Schneider has indicated that the price is negotiable and that there are several weeks available for the Project to make a decision on purchasing the domain. Please be assured that the Advisory Board is looking into the various options available to us and we will keep you informed as to the status of the domain and how we decide to respond to Mr. Schneider's offer. In the interim, we would like to remind all project members that our official domain is http://www.usgenweb.org and that all links to the USGenWeb Project home page should use this domain. If you have any questions about this issue or comments you would like to make, please contact your representative(s). A list of representatives and their contact information can be found at: http://www.usgenweb.com/about/whoswho.html Sincerely, Holly Timm, National Coordinator and the The USGenWeb Advisory Board
