Go up one level in this thread


hi Mathieu
it is an interesting possibility.
several other members have offered to host the CCC should the need arise and if
this turns out to be the case in 6 months time ,then all possibilites will be
explored in great detail

the main concern for me is..STABILITY

right now the CCC is maintained by a company that has been in business for just
under 30 years
they run the server as part of their  daily operations..
i cant recall even one instance in the last two years where i tried to log on
and the server was down.
everything runs so smooth it seems effortless which i know it is not
moving the server to a single individual(even one with the best of intentions
like yourself)always carries with it the risk that a significant change in your
personal life will adversly effect the board
Ed Schroeder posted a message here not long ago which gave a nice set of
examples of all of the things that could happen to move the board from pillar to
post every few months..
Marriage,Divorce,illness,etc,etc

whatever personal issues have impacted the folks at ICD these last 7 years had
no impact what so ever on the running of the board.
true professionalism in my opinion

of course if we are faced with the cold hard truth that the board must be moved
then we will have to do something,but i am hoping this will not be the case

Best Regards
Steve
