Add to agenda

[GCNA Webmaster]

I would like to clarify the history behind this list.  

This was originally hosted by a prior Coronado resident using his employer's servers (Pangeatech).  The list was called "gcna-discuss".  This is where the disclaimer originated.  

With the setup of the gcna.info domain name (about 4 years ago), I took on the list, and the disclaimer remained.  The GCNA board decided to rename it to "central-city-discuss".  Starting in 2005, GCNA paid for the domain name.  In February 2006, I stopped hosting the site (and list), and paid for a 1 year fee to have it hosted.  GCNA agreed to pay the hosting fee going forward.  

The site and list was not originally hosted, nor funded by GCNA.  However, now that it has changed hands, I'm sure the disclaimer is due to be re-visited.

  Hi Jo,
     Great point and an awesome first topic for the ListServ Committee !!  This is definitely contradictory to what I understand, so some clarification would be welcomed.
      As I understand it, this list was started as a gift to the GCNA by Kevin Porter, our webmaster.  Kevin used his own funds and his own time to create this vehicle for the benefit of all its members.  He explained to our past president, Christina that the "gift" part (which is the $100/yr for server space and $30/yr for the domain name) was for one year only and after that, the GCNA woul be responsible for the fees incurred to keep this list going.  She agreed, and as of last year GCNA has taken over ownership & paid the neccessary monies to continue this list.  
      I suspect that this disclaimer was added originally by Kevin and has simply never been modified.  In all the time that I've been a subscriber to this forum, I've never even read it until today !!  Maybe if Kevin has occasion to read this thread, he can inject facts instead of my suspicions.  Kevin (along with Ron Roman & Wayne Murray) has also expressed an interest in serving on this committee, so there's another three great volunteers and if you don't get definitive answers prior to the first committee meeting, I'm sure you can get them then.
      Thanks for pointing this out, Jo !!  We are all working to make this association the best its ever been and passionate folks like you are the reason that it's happening.
  Much appreciated,
  :) Don

    Don

    would you please address in the next meeting on how the Board,  taking it upon its self,  to start a moderation committee either conflicts, contradicts, or is consistent with the following disclaimer that
    appears at the bottom of each and every message and is there from the very moment someone joins the List Serve.. 

    Thank you
