Seems to me that if there is some problem or issue at Joker.com and they send 
mail to "president at svlug.org" and svlug.org is down then the president will 
not get the message (until SVLUG.org is restored to service). Maybe I'm 
missing something. Might it be simpler to just use reiber at gmail.com and be 
done with it?

At any rate, as soon as a good address is entered for Paul I would like to 
obtain passwords for all aspects of the registration. I would then test and 
verify them making sure I could log in. Then I would make notes and leave the 
situation alone with the notion that the svlug.org domain belongs to svlug 
and is in the stewardship of the two officers. I don't think there is any 
work that needs to be done or any changes in the works right now so we 
are "done" for a while.
