First of all he assured me that nothing concerning our Project would change other than the possibility of new tools. The files of the Project are safe from commercial activities. The files still fall under the copyright protection of the US Government and under Rootsweb's AUP policy. No advertisement will be required on any of our pages or the individual county or state pages without our express permission. This includes files located in the Archives. The truth of the matter is that Rootsweb has lots of unsold advertising space. As for the domains: One was bought by Brian last year and given to the Project. One is owned by Megan and one is owned by Doc Schneider. Mr Merrin said that Brian and Megan would do as the Project wished with the domains. For the domain that Doc owns, we'll have to contact him seperately. I believe he will pass it along to the Project but under his conditions. It is my understanding that there are 3 parts of registration for a domain - administrative; technical; and billing contacts. The administrative is the part that has been asked to be changed to my name back some 18 months or so ago. The technical is the person who can affect changes on routers and such. The billing person is who is contacted to pay the bill for the domain. Other questions? Tim
