I thought you were at the last meeting when we discussed it, but I could
be wrong…

I distinctly remember Andy telling me how he was glad he seemed to be
getting his point across now after beating it out several times already.

If we are already heading in that direction, and it’s not a top
priority, why attempt to elevate the importance of moving “slowly in the
right direction”?

Yes, since Paul told you.  After I had requested you be given an
account, after the site was moved to Paul’s box, so you could carry out
your role of updating the web site and announcing things.

Just as you mention Ubuntu Loco groups having their own domains, the
same goes for lug.org.uk groups, some choose to use the domains provided
by these “local user group frameworks”.  More so, while some LUGs have
their own domain, they choose to have their mailing lists hosted by
lug.org.uk.
