[CRNMC] URGENT! We have to decide on the website by Friday!

[karinajoy]

A week or so ago Tim said that there was no one willing to set up and maintain a website. So Peter answered the call for help and said he would do it. 

So, who is taking responsibility for maintaining the crnmc website now? Why did you wait till Peter started working on it? With so much to do, it seems like a waste of our energies to keep two of them, but go for it, if you want...

Maybe our communications are not flowing smoothly. How can we remedy that, besides keeping unimportant things/comments off the list serve?
